Actually getting software to support the 640x400 mode is not really that difficult it you don't mind a doing patches. (Me, I don't mind, but I also like FORTH.) Anyways, I have already patched several programs to makje use of the 640x400 16 color display. Usually, the only real changes that need to be made are to locations that store screen size and the mode number. If the program supports the Paradise AutoSwitch EGA Extended EGA mode (640x480 16 color), the patch is very simple. The VDC750 is just a modified Paradise that has AT&T 640x400 Mono instead of Hercules and 640x400 EGA instead od 640x480. Some of the programs I have thus far patched to run 640x400 16 color mode are: Publisher's Paintbrush Orcad Schematic Capture (circuit design) Prodesign 2.0 (CAD) I am pretty sure I got some others to work, but I can't think what they were right now. If there is any interest I am willing to tell people how to make the patches to the programs I have patched (I beleive copyright laws may prohibit the distribution of the drivers, and possibly the patching of them.) I am also willing to describe what to look for and how to change it in other programs. --- John Werner aka The Wumpus UUCP: {cmcl2!decvax}!rochester!ur-tut!aptr BITNET: aptrccss@uorvm Internet: aptr@tut.cc.rochester.edu Disclaimer: "Who?
