(i am not sure if 4300 is not using icsc one) i have AV 530 and AV 4300, but no OS at this time (i am waiting for DG/UX media). if i could help later, i'll be glad to do it. what about donate one to NetBSD m88k-port developers (work is in progress)? :) btw. i have another problem. i have Sony GDM-1601/8 monitor (shipped by Data General with own logo) connected to my AV 530 with graphics card by 3 BNC RGB cable made from standard 50ohm coaxial cables (i know there should be 75ohm ones, but i just wanted to try it). i am not sure if 3 cables are enough because that monitor has 5 BNC connectors (2 additional ones for horizontal and vertical sync). i tried to find any docs but without success (no info about 1601/8, just 1601 and 1601/6). problem is that picture on monitor looks like with higher frequency than monitor can handle or without some sync, lines are shifted to each other and it is shaking a bit. i hoped that sync on green was enogh but now i am not sure. graphics card i have is some data general 8 B/P GRAPHICS CARD shipped with that AV 530 (monitor was probably used with another machine). any help will be appreciated.. thanks bye, -- -- salo <salo(a)Xtrmntr.org> ASCII Ribbon campaign against /"\ -- -- <salo(a)silcnet.org> e-mail in gratuitous HTML and \ / -- -- Microsoft proprietary formats X -- -- http://Xtrmntr.org/salo.pgp / \ --
