I am currently using Omniview with my color TV, and though it is working remarkably well (I still don't understand how the characters can be so legible at only 4 dots across), I would like to get better screen definition and readability. Does anyone have a specific brand of monitor they would like to recommend? Also, if someone would repost how to get the appropriate video signal out of the 800 for use with such a monitor, I would be grateful. (Note I am talking 800, *NOT* 800XL.) By the way, noone has responded to my request regarding the pin-out on the 850 serial ports yet. If anyone has that knowledge available I'd love to hear from you. - Rick -------- Rick Genter BBN Laboratories Inc.
