Is it a cut and > paste operation like MS Windows? Um, no. As I recall it used the logging function. You set up the "to" device to be a workspace and then turn on log top or log bottom. E.g. if you turned on log bottom, then as each line was received it would be copied (by the terminal) over to the workspace set as "to" device, and if that workspace is attached to the other datacomm port then the line gets sent out that port. So I don't think you can cut-and-paste very easily, but you can set the thing up to do simple data logging. -Frank McConnell

I have an ATI Graphics Solution board that does: 40x25 character 80x25 character 320x200 color graphics 640x200 color/graphics 600/200 b/w modes plantronics color/graphics ati 640x200x16 color graphics 640x200x4 color 320x200x16 color 132x25 color text mode IBM mono (MDA) Hercules graphics mode 132x25 mono 132x44 mono Off hand the 6845 could likely be programmed for other more odd modes.

Stupid bus tricks

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<You talked about a system where the bus had to be arbitrated, that <wouldn't necessarily be needed if you went through SCSI, would it... I've done it with shared memory, SCSI, and most buses. SCSI worked well with AmproLBs. the physical medium does not determine what networking protocal is or can be used only the physical layer. So IP over scsi is doable as is DECNET in shared memory or simple async serial lines (DDCMP). Allison

The worst part is, rgvc is considered pretty high-signal these days. It's been a bad week, though. BTW, I think I just gave you the list address, rather than the list request address. At least, I got your subscribe message, and I suspect the rest of the list did too. You might want to try classic-videogames-request(a)moose.webworks.ca for the actual subscribe request.

Stupid bus tricks

by higginbo＠netpath.net

An even better stupid bus trick would be to connect all those bus types together, and have any card on any bus recognized by any computer. (But don't look at me, I'm just an idea man!)
