Sure, low-res games were 16 colours, but high-res apps basically had to be in CGA mode. like the Atari 8-bits. But that's a guess. Here's an example of the 1000EX I have: http://www.homecomputer.de/pages/f_info.html?Tandy_1000EX.html The one I have has a standard CGA-looking video connector, and this page lists it as producing 16 colours, so I'm guessing it's CGA. I've managed to get a good picture out of it on the monitor now, but it refuses to sync - I can't get better than a vertically rolling picture. I'll win out in the end though, dammit. Guess what I just found though... http://support.tandy.com/support_accessories/doc4/4397.htm Comparing to: http://www.monitorworld.com/faq_pages/q17_page.html The CM-5 is a CGA monitor, so I think it's safe to assume the 1000EX is CGA as well. Superb, so much for that little mystery, I hope I'll finish resurrecting the monitor tonight! Thanks for the inspiration. :-) interested in a works-but-no-hard-drive Silicon Graphics Personal Iris. I was going to use it for a PC case mod, but too much of it still works. Well, I'm in New Zealand; not really close enough to make use of your SGI, but maybe someone else will show up! I wonder how many of us there are in the Aus/NZ region. Probably quite a few. Mike.
