I am looking for the Autoswitch-Overscan resolution expander. If anyone knows where to get one (in Europe, Germany preferred) please tell me. A fax-number would be appreciated! To those who don't know what this is: A small board that goes inside your ST and gives you larger resolution in every mode. With SM 124 something like over 700x460... Costs about 120,- DM... Best when used with multisync. Does not work with every application. (there is a smart piece of software with it to switch it on and off accor- ding to the application used) Jartsu *** Jari Lehto, jartsu@otax.hut.fi, s37837k@saha.hut.fi ***

No problem: 1. snail: Overscan GBR Saentisstr. 166 W-1000 Berlin 48 West Germany 2. telephon (voice!): (030) 811 5882 3. fax-number: (030) 312 2639 If you call from outside germany, exchange (030) to (+4930) where the + is something, that your local telephone-company likes. >To those who don't know what this is: A small board that goes inside >your ST and gives you larger resolution in every mode. With SM 124 >something like over 700x460... Costs about 120,- DM... 672x480 on the most. Some lucky guys get more. The price is alright. >Best when used with multisync.

Question regarding Overscan on the monochrome mode, does it have any problem with software that only recognize 640x400 in the monochrome mode (ie. games). How about Spectre-GCR (Mac emulator)?

You have a little textfile in the auto-folder called OVERSCAN.INF with all the names of the programs in it, which don't like anything else than 640x400. If you start such a program, Overscan will switch the solution at first and the application is happy. No problems with any program I've tried so far. The most I use every day, support the higher solution of Overscan (as all well written GEM-application should do). But I don't have the time for much games... 8-) >How about Spectre-GCR (Mac emulator)? Sorry, I've no kind of emulator.

There is a chanse that the current version of overscan supports Spectre, they are at least working on it. I'll get my overscan soon, then I am able to tell. Still waiting for Spectre v. 3.0 to arrive... (I think that 3.0 works with the older overscan also) Jartsu *** Jari Lehto, jartsu@otax.hut.fi, s37837k@saha.hut.fi ***

But there is realy a good chance that future versions of spectre will support the new overscan. First we now have english docs and second, we sent a overscan package directly to Dave Small :-) Greetings, Karsten ki@opal.cs.tu-berlin.de <OverScan GbR,Berlin>
