Subject: Re: X Window server for NEC 7220
I have photos of the NEC APC video boards if anyone wanted to take a
gander.
Hey Andy, why don't you consider creating an IBM PGC type graphics
controller for your rig. Sounds like a lot of fun to me. I have one, and a
Vermont Microsystems clone, 80188 based if you need any inspiration.
Hi
Can the PGC be built in a hobbyist friendly manner? Does it use custom
chips or proprietary programmable logic? Would it fit on an S-100 board?
Honestly I don't know too much about it. I'd need to see a schematic and a
PCB to determine if it is suitable. The S-100 VGA and S-100 80386 CPU board
PCBs are really pushing the envelope of our current technology choices.
Thanks and have a nice day!
