Hello,
I have access to two apple A/UX boxes. One is a Mac II running A/UX 1.0
and the other is a Mac IIcx running A/UX 1.1. Both systems have 256 color
cards.
On the Mac II/1.0 system the scr_color program alters the screen colors
as documented. I am unable, however, to make it work on the IIcx/1.1 system.
I get no error message...the screen simply remains black and white.
The manual entry for scr_color says:
> It is only useful when
> the screen is in 1 bit per pixel mode (see console(7)) and you
> are using the basic terminal emulator.
I am assuming that the II/1.0 system is in this mode by default and
the IIcx/1.1 is not. Unfortunately, all of my efforts to put it in the
correct mode have failed. I have tried altering the /etc/ioctl.syscon
file to match that of the II/1.0 system and have tried using stty -g to
make their stty settings identical...all with no success.
Does anyone have any pointers to how I can get this working?
Thanks
Frank Peters
