I am using an HP composite video card (98204A) in a
9000/200 series and am getting a very small multiple
image on the screen. Is there something special about
HP composite video or is this just a bad card? I've
tried the card in both a 9000/200 and 9000/220 with the
same result. Any ideas?
Just a wild guess, but if you have an HP 35731A monochrome monitor,
try it with that. That wants composite video but with a horizontal
frequency of 30KHz instead of the more usual 15KHz. HP used that on
several different systems.
There may also be a jumper on the video card to select the
horizontal frequency, but the only thing I ever saw this on was
the HP Multimode Display Adapter for the Vectra (sort of a
combination of the IBM MDA and CGA that was good for confusing
"smart" software).
