O.K. Since the 4014 is most likely a flop, I have one more question. Does anyone know if they make graphic cards for vt100 terminals. If so, how much do they go for, and where could I find one. Vt100's are in vast supply around here, and although it is no VT240, it will have to do. Thanks. -Gladiator

At a previous employer we used boards from a company called Selenar that did mono graphics on a vt100, about 1200x300 (theoretical) resolution, I think. They were pretty slow to work with (sending commands at 9600 baud), and no doubt overpriced. Why not get a PC clone for $500? BTW, how about a usable email address so I don't have to bother anyone else with this? Anyway . . . what was the question? :-) -- Jack C.

The 'retrographics' card (VT640) is scaled to tek... 640x400, so things like 'hidden-line-removal' using selective erase won't work unless you un-scale your image, and lose virtual resoloution. > If so, how much do they go for, and where could I find one. Digital, and I don't know if they sell them anymore. This is the 'GPO' you can turn on and off. > Vt100's are in vast supply around here, and although it is no VT240, > it will have to do. Unfortunately, it won't save you a heck of a lot of money over a 240, as you will have to replace the tubes with higher-persistence/resolution CRT's (just the tubes) in orser to see the pictures you display very well. | Terry Lambert UUCP: ...{ decvax, ihnp4 } ...utah-cs!century!terry | | @ Century Software OR: ...utah-cs!uplherc!sp7040!obie!wsccs!terry | | SLC, Utah | | These opinions are not my companies, but if you find them | | useful, send a $20.00 donation to Brisbane Australia... | | 'Admit it!
