The NEC Multisync monitor thread reminded me that I used one to produce a
video, and I thought a few of you might enjoy it.

Which revision MDA is this? I have an original NEC Multisync and I have a tone
of MDA cards including one in one

I'm not that lucky! But yes, an early card with the light pen connector
should work.
The card I used for the demo is a somewhat later revision. I added rework
wires to match the schematic in the technical reference manual of the
earlier revision.
With either an early MDA card or a modded card, if
OK, so the demo was with a "MODIFIED" card. :-) (admittedly a trivial one
that brought it in line with published schematic)
Which Int10h modes does it support?
QBASIC is presumably simpy using the INt10h modes.
The MDA by default was in Mode 7.
If it will do mode 3, then it can do Lotus in colo

I have trouble with pseudonyms.

It only supports mode 7 since it's an MDA card. :)
The QBASIC COLOR statement doesn't bother to range check the arguments, it
just copies them into the attribute byte in video memory. This is why the
trick works.
Other programs *know* that you clearly have a monochrome card so they won't
use the
