albeit some would find PC/2's interesting, I generally
don't. The Model 25 is a cutey. If I were to acquire a
PC/2, and play around with it to any extent, I
certainly would want an XGA card in mine. I was told
there are 2 versions of the Microchannel bus (16 and
32 bit).
Anyway, I doubt you'd find very much that would
utilize such a graphics system. Autocad as per the
usual, and probably other high-powered engineering and
scientific stuff. I have to wonder if there were any
aftermarket superVGA cards for the uChannel based
PC/2's. Or for that matter were there ISA/VESA/EISA
XGA cards available for vanilla PC's. Thanks for participating.

I don't give a rat's ass what "utilizes" monochrome; -I've
already got
a 22" Mac with OS X for things "utilizing" graphics, as you refer to
it.
- What I'm talking about are all the other uses a monochrome setup
would do wonders in; like the fact that any monochrome setup I've seen
are like reading off a book's page, "in contrast" [hrr hrr] to crappy
'ol two-tone and colour setup alike.

A few months back, someone offered to throw together a script/program that
would process inbound mail on the list, removing or substituting certain
words then passing the email on.
I can't find the original email, and would appreciate it if the person who
did so would contact me offlist.

if the "c" word was so offensive, I won't use it
again. I can hardly imagine how that would be, seeing
the illustrious language that does get used from time
to time, albeit sparingly. I meant no offense.

I have one of these XGA cards, but I never managed to find an IBM XGA
monitor to go with it. My PS/2 systems are in storage right now anyway
though.

Talk about overly cryptic. In what way is an "IBM XGA-2 Video Card"
the "Ultimate" in "vintage crap"? How are we supposed to take that
post? Furthermore in the future, how about putting a short
description with the item number (and for those that need it, note it
is an eBay listing).

Please rememebr that not all of us read our main on-line. I for one
download all my main, then read anf reply to it (I pay for phone calls by
the second (or whatever), I don't have broadband). So for me to look up
an e-bay item certainly involves me dialing back in to my ISP and running
a web browser.
So please specify the sort of item it is. And indeed that it is an e-bay
item number. On this list a string of digits could be a part number from
any of a hundred or more companies, it could be a machine or micro-
instruction, and so on.
Just out of curiosity, why do you think an XGA card is the ultimate
vintage find? I can think of many things that are rarer and/or more
interesting.

There's a duality to my feelings on PC/2 stuph. Hence
the rather torturous tenuous title to my post. I'll
just leave it at this and say an XGA is what's bound
to make a PC/2 interesting (in my book).

There's nothing much to see. It looks like a normal PC/AT (IBM 5170). OK,
there are other odd machines around here that are a lot more intereting
oth to look at and to understnad.

I beelieve I got a mention (for this reason) in Popular Mechanics or
soemthing like that.
Apart from that, I am heppy living surrounded by (old) computers,
cameras, tools and the like. And my cat, of course. I may be a freak, and
I am certain;y accentric, but I really don't want to become known to all
and sundry as such.
