    Try the "Rainbow Color/Graphics Option Programmer's Reference Guide".
    (The order number is AA-AE36A-TV.)

    It is also part of the "Rainbow 100+/100B Technical Doc" (QV069-GZ).

[food for line eater]

We  have  DEC  Rainbows  with  graphics  boards and colour monitors. Our
problem is that we have software to drive this under CP/M, but not under
MS-DOS. The applications we have in mind  really  require  us  to  write
software,  but  we have no details on driving the display in either text
or graphics modes (we can't even change the colour!).

Has anyone any information on programming this beast, or do they know of
a DEC publication that contains the secrets?
