- Short: Two Super72 Replacement Monitors
-
- Here are two replacements for the Super72 monitor driver.
- One increases the refresh rate to 83Hz and the scan rate to 27.22 kHz,
- allowing an 800x600 pixel screen and minimal flicker.
- The other offers 77Hz and 26.33kHz, respectively, allowing an 832x628
- screen, but slightly more flicker.
-
- It is up to you which one you use. Your choice can be made on how
- much screen you want, how much flicker you can stand, and what
- specs your monitor can handle.
-
- Some VGA, and maybe the 1940/42, monitors may now be able to show
- this monitor. You may want to check your monitor specs before you
- try this, but if you do try it and get no recognisable picture just
- reset the computer ASAP to prevent monitor damage.
- It works fine on my NEC 3D (which was able to show the original
- Super 72 anyway).
-
- I used a WB3.1 monitor driver as a basis for this driver.
- (from CBM's upgrade distribution, which you should also download
- if you have KS3.0 - pub/aminet/os30/util/Monitor30Patch.lha)
-
- I am not sure if it works under less than KS3.0, but copying the
- tooltypes from this icon into the WB2.1 Super72 monitor icon
- should work.
-
- Remember, it's the tooltypes that make the difference, not the
- monitor code itself.
-
-
-
- Installation:
-
- 1. Rename your favoured monitor to "Super72".
-
- 2. Copy the Super72 monitor and (especially) the icon over the
- existing ones - drag and drop, or use DirOpus, etc. etc.
-
- 3. Reboot the Computer.
-
- 4. Load Overscan prefs and set the Super72 screen size to be exactly
- 800x600 or 832x628, depending on what monitor driver your have
- chosen to use - even if it appears as though the full 800/832 pixel
- width will not be visible. Save the Prefs.
-
- 5. Change your screenmode, to Super72. Do not SAVE but USE instead
- (just in case it doesn't work).
- Boom, crash, bang - less flicker(!)
-
- 6. If you have no recognisable picture it may be because your monitor does
- not support frequencies as low as 26.33kHz or refresh rates as high
- as 83Hz. My NEC 3D seems to work at over 100Hz easily, even though
- the specs only say 90.
-
- 7. Hope you like it!
