About a week ago I asked if anyone had been successful using a VGA with uport's SV/AT -- specifically, what brand/model of VGA. As I received no responses, there isn't much of a summary. If anyone was waiting for a summary, this is it. Sorry. Of course, maybe this means that one cannot use a VGA with SV/AT. Dave Bodenstab att!iwtmx!imdave

Sorry. >Of course, maybe this means that one cannot use a VGA with SV/AT. ======================= You can use a VGA card - but not in VGA mode and *ONLY* if the board has hardware EGA compatability. You must use it as an EGA board. We will likely provide VGA modes sometime before the next millennium, but unfortunatly, it is not real high on our priority list Richard Richard Ducoty (*)(*) duc@mport.COM Microport Inc. \ uunet!mport!duc voice=> (408) 438-8649 < fax=> (408) 438-7560

Welcome home! The group was started for V/AT, it's nice to have an ear. For those who read sysv.386, you might have seen me landing on Richard and Microport pretty hard. If you haven't read much of what I have said, let me get really clear. I _love_ V/AT! I don't ask a lot of it and it never disappoints me. I use the stock async driver at 19.2Kbps (NS16550A) and it never whimpers or coughs. I couldn't funtion without V/AT in my luggable, it's great! Now to land on Richard pretty hard with respect to V/AT :-) Mine works with a VGA. That's more than I could say for AT&T Simul-Task '286 or '386. Heck, AT&T 3.1.1 wouldn't even boot with a VGA in the room, much less the chassis :-) OK, OK, which VGA? It's a MicroLabs VGA solution. Please don't post or email me for buying information, my V/AT luggable is loaned out to chip@chinacat.\ Unicom.COM . He has ordering information, even if he growls about sending it. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) -- Bill Kennedy usenet {att,cs.utexas.edu,pyramid!daver}!ssbn.wlk.com!bill internet bill@ssbn.WLK.COM or attmail!ssbn!bill
