(Okay, okay... so this IS my umpteenth posting this week! ;-) just became the proud owner of (finally) an ega card (SBD) and a multisync (NEC multisync GS) for my Sperry IT. (running 2.3.0-L) a) has anyone had any problems with hardware/ROM compatability between the computer and the display? (i've noticed quite a few IT owners posting here!) i am getting an NMI in boot (system mode) that's non-fatal (i just ignore it) and believe it to be the display (possible the ram on the card) b) does anyone know of a driver/terminfo/etc... method to get the 44 line ega mode? (love to have my favorite editor in it!)

Pretty please? Right now, all my VEGA Deluxe/Sony Multiscan combo is doing is being a VERY easy to read display, and I feel like it's being underutilized... I've used 43 line mode before, and that's readable on this monitor just fine. I'd love to have it as an option. Of course, it'd be interesting to see just how much breaks with a terminfo spec of lines#43... -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC...>splut!< | GEnie: JAYMAYNARD CI$: 71036,1603 uucp: {uunet!nuchat,hoptoad!academ!uhnix1,{ihnp4,bellcore}!tness1}!splut!jay Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.
