- Our local Authorized {IBM, Apple} Dealer was selling a used PS/2 Mono
- Display 8507, which is a 19 inch 1024x768 greyscale monitor, for $300
- used. I'm in the market for a bigscreen display and video board right
- now -- is there any NON-ACCELERATED frame buffer available that will
- work with this beast or something like it? Not that acceleration is
- bad... I'm just looking for low-cost and ease of support (since I'm
- doing operating systems development work now & don't want to write
- extra code just to put dots on the screen).
-
- Also, I'm seeing a lot about these 'Sampo Two-Page Dispaly/Video Board
- Combinations'. Supposedly they were made for Hewlett-Packard -- are
- they any good? Should I look for one of those or something similar
- instead?
-
- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE respond via e-mail, since I can post to this group
- any time but only read it about twice a month. Thanx for any info
- anyone has to offer.
-
- TTFN,
- Chris
