<> B> TAndy CM-11 monitor is a EGA like monitor, and DESKMATE has made full B>use of it. Yet when I program graphics with Turbo-Pascal, the monitor is B>detected as CGA. Does anybody know how to set graphics mode for CM-11? Sorry, but the CM-11 is a CGA monitor, with a 640 x 200 x 16-color resolution. (See Page 36, 1991 Tandy Computer Catalog.) Deskmate uses a Tandy-unique video mode (they call it TCGA or TGA) which is a 16-color CGA mode. (Video Mode E if I remember right.) This video mode is found on Tandy 1000-series systems with built-in video support. The extra color capability is probably what makes the CM-11 "look" like it might be an EGA, but it isn't. A "real" EGA would allow 640 x 200 x 64-color or 640 x 350 x 16-color. According to the 1990 and 1991 catalog, Radio Shack no longer sells an EGA monitor at all. Just CGA (BW & C) and VGA (BW & C).

The "real" EGA adapter has no 640x200x64 mode. Just 640x200x16. Gene

And if you have an EGA card with that CM-11 monitor you can use DMVST.RES as the DeskMate Video Driver.
