>(Those monitors had more, and probably specific, pins too on the >plug of their - fixed - connector wire, compared to the usual TTL >connector.) Let me describe what happens a bit more closely... If, for example, the top line of the screen displays a header, time, and date (whatever, it doesn't matter) and is stationary while the rest of the screen scrolls below, the *twenty-fifth* line will appear on top of line one... and *then* that top line becomes elongated, upside down *and* reversed... so line one and "twenty-five" are combined in this mixed up fashion. The first line becomes elongated and reversed -- with a normal-print 25th line riding over number one. I suspect, as you might be thinking, that this monitor was used with some special application/terminal system. None of the equipment with this system, however, is made by IBM. And so I wonder whether or not a special driver was required to operate/alter this "CompuAdd" monitor, which is now lost.
