There is a new version of the DOS/65 source package and the DOS/65 Colossus QuickStart that include a ParPortProp version for older monitors that will not sync with the current Full color version of the firmware.

But if you look at my two monitor pictures, as we go forward, we will have some issues for some of us with older monitors. My Samsung was purchased in 2005. While it supports 1280 x 1024, it doesn't appear work at 60 hz. I figure this mismatch is above most of our heads and may have to go back to Parallax and Chip Gracey. Meanwhile, we may have to create a version with the original drivers more like the PropIO2 which uses the VGA_1024 driver.

But some of us aren't going to have monitors that support the particular frequencies that you chose. So is there a way to adjust things in the code. I have attached pictures of my Samsung that I will use for this project and also my other 22 inch widescreen monitor which does work. The Samsung 913T is 1280 x 1024 Vert 75hz, Hor 81 khz.

This program uses a totally different VGA driver from the pocket term and requires svga resolution as it is higher resolution and supports color on a character by character basis.

There is one way of in "test", but it doesn't seem to match up with the .eprom you provided. So far things are only "sort of" working. The characters seem to be too big. That is the bottom lines are way off the bottom of the screen. I have used this monitor with Vince Briel's prop term with all working fine.

At which point I will post some pictures for everyone and generate PayPal Invoices for all the folks who ordered to pay for their boards. One request - I've used the Zeta documentation page as a template and created the skeleton of a documentation page for the 6x0x board at - http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/page/82119161/ECB%206x0x-ATX-6U Since I did not build one of the prototype boards, it would be very useful to me if the folks who did build the Rev 008 prototypes could review the documentation page and provide any inputs. Especially the IC selection and software sections. You can either edit the page directly or send an email with what you want added and I'll do it. We are going to have 65 of these boards out in the wild (and I will be collecting names for a 2nd batch as well if there is demand) and I'd really like to have the highest quality documentation possible to go with them. Andrew L., John C. and the prototype builders put a lot of work into this board and I expect it to be a new flagship of the N8VEM project. I'm really just honored to be able to get them made and distributed to everyone. Thanks, Andrew B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM" group.
