That provides software with PC-compatible graphics (so I'm told), and therefore enables your Compupro dual-processor or 86/286 board to run MSDOS with a reasonable chance of compatibility with the PC. The board I'm referring to also has a keyboard plug, so that you can run with a PC-compatible keyboard, and bypass the system console i/o. The central processor is not on this board, however, so if you're running a 8-bit CP/M system, you'd still need the 8088 from someplace. I'm expecting to see a demonstration of this video board at the next Piconet Compupro SIG meeting in 2 weeks; -- if anyone's interested, I'll let you know what my impressions are after I see it (smell it, etc). -- sam hahn -------
