TAndy CM-11 monitor is a EGA like monitor, and DESKMATE has made full use of it. Yet when I program graphics with Turbo-Pascal, the monitor is detected as CGA. Does anybody know how to set graphics mode for CM-11?

The Tandy Graphics adaptor is a superset of CGA (includes 320x200x16 color, 640x200x16 color (EGA like modes) and 640x200x4 color (PC jr modes). The EGA-like modes are *NOT* ega modes, and cannot be programed as such. I wish more development packages would support the tandy modes, but, alas, they don't tim

The answer to the question is that the CM-11 is not an EGA monitor, it is a CGA monitor that supports 16 colours at CGA resolutions (depending on the machine some tandy's had 640x200x16 others didn't). The resolutions that support more than CGA colours 320x200x16, 640x200x4, 640x200x16 are special tandy graphics. These modes are supported by a number of software makers, but I don't think I've seen a Turbo Pascal driver. If you want to write your own, the assembly language methods were documented in one of the Tandy programmer references guides, though the exact name escapes me.

It isn't capable of ega res, however the video baord built into the 1000 series does 320x200x16 colors, and 640by 200 at 8 colors (as i recall), and is far above the cga norm sy -- Scott Yates, N4BBB o o DOMAIN: gsy@gsy1.JOBSOFT.COM Yates Pest Control \ / UUCP: ....uunet!mjbtn!gsy1!gsy Rockvale,Tennessee (OO) TCP/IP: 44.34.50.24 HAM: n4bbb@ampr.org Navy MARS NNN0XRI <> VOICE: (615) 274-2156 home after 7PM EC Rutherford ARES WORK: (615) 256-0170 FAX: 244-4640 Technical Director Technology Express, Inc.
