Message-ID: <57@f.gp.cs.cmu.edu> Date: Sat, 16-May-87 22:24:36 EDT Article-I.D.: f.57 Posted: Sat May 16 22:24:36 1987 Date-Received: Sun, 17-May-87 08:57:48 EDT Reply-To: mjw@f.gp.cs.cmu.edu (Michael Witbrock) Organization: Carnegie-Mellon University, CS/RI Lines: 58 Keywords: I have a problem with my computer. On two particularly hairy grapohics programs (MCAD12 and Jugglerdemo), a stripy (every second horizontal pixel (plus a few others)) pattern SOMETIMES appears about 3/4 of the way across my screen. It is about 2-3cm wide, and takes up the lower third or twothirds of the screen (sometimes the full height as well). As far as I can tell (paranoid look crosses face), this problem affects nothing else. This problem has started to occur since I installed the aminetics board. Is it likely to be a memory fault (if so, does anyone have a program which will enable me to locate the bad chip - they are not (to say the least) conveniently located for pulling and replacing-, or is it more likely to be some bussloading problem which is affecting the display (I guess this is a nicer scenario if the problem only affects the video display). -- Any idea when this upgrade business is happening. I am thinking of getting a 2000 in addition to my 1000, but may be better off swapping the 1000 for a 2000 and buying a 500. Hints about whether it will be more than a month and about the upgrade cost would be appreciated. -michael -- ==================================================================== Michael.Witbrock@f.gp.cs.cmu.edu US Mail: Michael Witbrock Dept of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh PA 15213-6890 USA Telephone : (412) 268 3621 [Office] (412) 681 3806 [Home] ======================================================== "Be good, be kind, in whatever you say and do, and remember: keep cool till after school."
