But there is a solution, put one more chip (eeprom) into the "key" and make the whole device to behave as a prom emulator. When connected to OGA it "emulates" prom, when disconnected it's image can be changed over usb/serial. I hope it's still under $30 of dip switches/jumpers.
Sounds like we could get a simple processor or perhaps some random logic connected to serial to reprogram an SPI PROM stuck on a board. All we do is program the PROM and then connect it to OGC, where it... well, just behaves like a PROM, because that's what it is.
I would prefer to use the DDC key - and when it supplies only ONE mode from EDID (detected by video-bios), the card's output will be set to that fixed mode.
That's what I would use, but I see other uses for the SPI off-board board too. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
