- Short: Fast Piccolo 832x624x256 Video Driver for Emplant.
-
- Legal mush - I assume no responsibility for any damage you do to yourself, your
- computer, your emplant, or the entire world. This is provided as is with no
- guarantees, etc, and is simply provided for those who might need it.
-
- The Piccolo 832x624 driver:
-
- 1> Use the EGS Monitor Tweak to create a video mode "VGA 832x624". The
- Mac likes this mode (and doesn't like 800x600, I hear, something ab-
- out divisions of this or that). Make it perfect for your monitor..
- The enclosed driver, (and the others) are hard-coded for "VGA ...x..."
- so make sure you don't have a monitor name or something in there (I
- couldn't get the Piccolo to work with the emplant at all when I first
- got it because my monitor name was 'Idek VGA 640x480').
-
- 2> Load emplant, select the driver. Viola, Fast 256 color 832x624. I
- have been using this extensively for days without a lick of trouble.
- My speedometer ratings were 2.08 for Piccolo in 640x480, 2.05 for the
- 832x624 mode.
-
- 3> Spectrum users simply need to hack the occurances of Picoa: to what-
- ever it is you guys use - I'm told it should work fine, though I
- have no spectrum to try it on.
-
- Emplant and these video drivers are all copyright (c) 1993 Jim Drew and
- Utilities Unlimited. I simply did this as I had a desperate need for this
- video mode, and friends told me to post it for everyone, so enjoy...
