I am looking for information on screen savers that work with VGA machines (IBM Models 30-286, 70, and 80). If you have information on a favorite (or not so favorite) program (freeware, shareware, or commercial), please share the information. Since the software will be installed in a small computer lab, please let me know about any known incompatibilities with existing software. Scott D.

On my BBS, there is a program called BLANKALL which has worked for me on CGA, MGA, EGA and VGA (On AT and AT clones, never tried on PS/2).

The copy on simtel20 is old and I'm not sure where I picked up the new one. I've been using it on PS/2s of many stripes (6 Model 30s, 2-50s, 1-60 and 2-70s) without any problems. Granted, the 30s aren't VGA, but it works fine with MCGA as well. > >Since the software will be installed in a small computer lab, please >let me know about any known incompatibilities with existing software. > None that I know of. I've used it with Novell NetWare, Microsoft Windows, Word, Dbase, Paradox and a lot of other programs. I don't use too many TSRs, so I can't say which ones it has trouble with. The only quirk I've found is when I'm using Carbon Copy Plus as a remote user, it doesn't catch the keyboard activity so I have to click the mouse to let it know I'm active. Check your local BBSs for it. Jeff Wallace, Experimental Computing Facility (XCF), U.C. Berkeley Internet: jeffw@scam.Berkeley.EDU UUCP:...!ucbvax!scam!jeffw
