[comp.sys.dec] running a color DEC3100 in monochrome mode

lynch@theory.tn.cornell.edu (Tim Lynch) (11/16/90)

Hello,

We've got an unusual problem and don't know how to solve it.  We have
a color DEC3100 system and an application that expects, demands,
to run on a monochrome system.  Is there any software or
simple hardware fix that can turn this trick?  Grayscale won't do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I don't think there is simple software trick to do this.  If you
have source code, however, fixing the bug in the program that prevents
it from running on color systems should be fairly easy.
