[comp.graphics] Drivers / software for TI SDB board

alana@Stardent.COM (Alan Agostinelli @stardent) (10/16/90)

I have recently acquired a Texas Instruments TMS 34010 Software Development
Board (SDB) for my PC.  Does anyone know of a set of drivers for this that
would allow me to use it as my console, as well as a graphics device ?

Anyone know of any other interesting software for this board ?

				Thanks.

Well, as far as using the board for your system console -- I assume that
you are running on a DOS machine (correct me if I am wrong), you will be
hardpressed to find any software which will make the board a 100% compatible
IBM adapter suitable for the system console. It is not IBM display adapter
compatible at the hardware level or software level. To be most successful
in using this board you should probably have two monitors -- you can get
away with a mono adapter and monitor for your system console and then for
medium res (640x480x16) graphics you can use this board with a VGA compatible
monitor.

My company has been marketing DGIS for the TI SDB for 4 years now. If you
have DGIS then you will be able to run many, many applications on the market.
Among them: Autocad, Windows 3.0, WordPerfect, Harvard Presentation Graphics,
numerous other CAD applications, GEM, Ventura, etc...

In addition to what I mentioned above, there is also a system development
kit available which provides the necessary software components to allow
you to write custom code to talk to this card via the DGIS i/f.
