I tried asking this a while ago, but got no replies. Since this isn't usual in my experience, the posting must have fallen down a big black hole somewhere so I'll try again. I have a 386 clone on which I want to run the Roell X386 binaries. At present the machine only has a CGA card (!!) so I'm open to suggestions as regards display card and monitor. I like the idea of an SVGA card that uses software timing control (i.e. VCO), but don't know who makes them. All the suppliers I have spoken to don't know the difference between crystals and VCO anyway. I usually get something like "Dunno guv - it's a VGA card, innit ?".* I remember someone on this newsgroup saying that they were very happy with one particular card, which I think cost $199 in the USA. Unfortunately I can't find the details anymore. So - could anyone make me suggestions as to which cards to use or not use ? Ideas about monitors would be gratefully received as well. Thanks in advance Andy Michael * Translate this into your local dialect. -- Andy Michael "You might think that. I 85 Hawthorne Crescent couldn't possibly comment."
