Message-ID: <5802@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu> Date: 10 Jun 88 02:51:06 GMT Reply-To: amit@umn-cs.UUCP (Neta Amit) Organization: University of Minnesota Lines: 27 I'm interested in the speed and compatability of several Super EGA Display Cards (480 x 640 and 600 x 800). Speed -- characters/sec . A few weeks back someone (sorry, forgot who) mentioned AWARDSST.ARC on Simtel20's pd1: . I tried it on a monochrome TrueBlue, and saw 2404 cps. I'm curious to know how EGA Wonder, Video 7 and other high-resolution cards do. If you have access to AWARDSST (not certain about its accuracy, but does it matter?) and to one or more of these wondercards, please post you findings. Compatability. Not easy to characterized. But read the revision history of MicroEmacs and you'll find about problems with the cursor in 43-lines mode. I tried it -- its true... E.g. Everex's MicroEnhancer Deluxe can display, on a multisync, in various emulation modes. In many of them the cursor goes to neverland. Have you encountered similar problems with other popular software/card combinations? Perhaps we should keep a scoreboard. comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc keeps one for tcp/ip implementations... -- Neta Amit U of Minnesota CSci Arpanet: amit@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu
