- Seiko CM-1430 Monitor
- ======================
-
- We have developed a solution to the problem that some Seiko Monitor
- owners are finding. The problem occurs during operation of the Seiko
- 1430 monitor with the 800 x 600 modes. The solution is SKO1430.COM, a
- program residing on the Utility Diskette included with your ProDesigner.
-
- To install the solution, simply copy the program to your hard disk
- (assuming drive C:) by placing the Utility Diskette in drive A: and
- typing:
-
- COPY A:SKO1430.COM C: <press ENTER>
-
- You can run the program from your DOS prompt, by typing:
-
- SKO1430 <press ENTER>
-
-
- You will only need to run SKO1430 one time during your computer
- session, before you use 800 x 600 modes.
-
- If you use 800 x 600 modes regularly you may want to run SKO1430.COM
- from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the SKO1430 program will
- automatically run each time you boot up your computer. You will need
- to edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with an ASCII text editor (such as
- EDLIN), or an editor that will save an edited file in ASCII format.
- See your DOS manual for more information on the DOS text editor EDLIN
- and the formation and use of an AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Please note: If you find problems while using a mouse or other memory
- resident programs, try loading SKO1430 first before you load any
- resident memory programs.
-
-
- The following questions and answers will help to explain SKO1430.COM:
-
-
- Question: What is SKO1430.Com?
-
- Answer: SKO1430.Com is a program designed to permit the ProDesigner
- to run the Seiko 1430 monitor in 800 x 600 modes. It is RAM
- resident software (referred to as a TSR), approximately 12K
- in size.
-
- Question: Why do we need SKO1430.Com?
-
- Answer: Although the Seiko 1430 supports 1024 x 768 modes, it uses
- values which do not support the popular 800 x 600 scanning
- frequencies, such as ProDesigner modes 29 (800 x 600, 16
- colors) and 30 (800 x 600, 256 colors). Orchid Technology
- is one of the few companies who have developed the software
- necessary to support 800 x 600 on the Seiko 1430.
-
- Question: How do we recognize the Seiko monitor problem?
-
- Answer: If you are using the Seiko 1430 monitor in 800 x 600 mode
- the screen may distort or blank out. In either case you
- need to use the SKO1430.Com program to correct the problem.
-
- Question: How does the SKO1430.Com program work?
-
- Answer: The SKO1430.Com program is loaded into memory at the DOS
- prompt (or in a batch file) where it remains to intercept
- and change the Prodesigner signals before they reach the
- Seiko monitor.
