I have a paradise video board with 512k of memory on my 386.
I can effectively use video mode (in hex) 5E for 640x400 in 256
colors, mode 5F for 640x480 in 256 colors, and mode 58 for
800x600 in 16 colors. What I am wondering is if anyone knows
the mode numbers for better resolution, such as 1024x768 in 16
colors or 800x600 in 256 colors?
Also, it was recommended to me that I should look at FTP
site CICA.CICA.INDIANA.EDU for video drivers for Windows 3.0.
Unfortunately, the mainframe here doesn't recognize that
address. Could someone tell me the numeric address for this
FTP site?
Please respond by mail. Thanks for your help.
Pete

What I am wondering is if anyone knows >the mode numbers for better resolution, such as 1024x768 in 16 The best source is 'ralf's interrupt list available from all good ftp sites - it lists all know service interrupts and conseqeuently all know video modes and cards - The Paradise VGA is a weird beast - one of the video service routines available allows you to specify a resolution and colors ... it will then try and produce the mode ... telling you if it succeeded or not. And while I'm here ... A plea from all the 256K paradise users: A few weeks ago some debate was going on about upgrading our cards from 16's to 512K Pros. During this some bright spark sent out the missing device patches on the 16 card with guesses of their type ... he also asked for someone to compare them to their 512K Pro card ... did anyone do this ... NO. If he reposts them, can any of you 512K Pro users (hinting at nobody: v105mahs) fill in the gaps? This has been one mans quest for better colour use in Windows 3.0 ... JR
