Anyone know of software that will test a VGA cards available resolutions?
I have a stack of old VGA cards here, and any that don't support at least
800x600 at 8 bits are no good to me. I was thinking of just plugging them
in turn into a Windows machine and letting windows tell me what
resolutions it can use, but that's slow and clunky.
I'm looking for some kind of a DOS utility that I can run that will test
the card at different settings. Something that I can put only a bootable
floppy so I don't have to wait thru the long windows boot, change, reboot
cycle.
Any suggestions?

Hi there,
Read with great curiosity the thread about the above. I own 3
DSD880D30s
and 1 DSD880S8. All are Q-bus. I have the original manuals, and
probably
the floppies that came with them. Also have the RT-11 v4 and v5
modified
drivers. We used them at one of my old jobs for quite some time. If
you
have any questions about them, feel free to email me.
On another note, the 880S8 seems to be dead, but I don't know if it is
the drive or the electronics. The Q-bus controller is fine, as is the
cable,
as they run the D30 just fine. So I am looking for either a good drive
or
a good S8 box to test with. Anything like that in the group of units
you were
talking about?
Thanks

hi,
i find the following lines incidentally
------------------------------------
Hi all, I don't know if anyone is doing anything with the original
PC, but when I had mine I converted it to an XT with a 15meg
hard drive. I ended up typing in the PC monitor and modifying
it so the bios had a drive entry for the hard drive I had purchased
(actually I bought a 10meg and they gave me a 15meg instead).
I have a zip file that has both the orginal source and my modified
copy if anyone is interested. Just email my privately and I will
pass the ZIP on.
best regards, Steve Thatcher
------------------------------------
i am trying to write a system and cant find bios source code.
could you email me your copy?
sorry to bother you.^_^

Hi,
I am interested in buying the hard card 40 you have.
Let me know how to go about it ?
One more thing.
I currently have a hardcard in an old system which is
not showing any display. so i took out the hard card
and plugged in a 486 system but now the system wants
to use it as a start up disk
any idea how can i prevent system to do that so i be
able to retrieve data from hard card. because if i let
hard card be start up disk then i get a bios address
error.
Any help will be appreciated.
infact i dont need a hardcard any more but if your
suggested solution works i 'll buy it :)
Cheers
Thanks,
Nauman
I saw a post of yours from last year.
I have a manual for this item if you still require it.
I am actually looking for a replacement for our STR LINK IIa, or at the very
least, the belt for the tape drive on it.

This pretty much sums up the current state of the IT job market in the US
