Thanks Msg 44035 is 10 line(s) on 10/12/90 from BILL WOLFF to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/VGA MONITOR ON CGA Why would I want composite video inputs on a VGA monitor? Easy... I have lots of monitors around and if I can narrow it down to one or two, I'd be doing good. Composite inputs are good for VCR's, game machines, Commodore's, Apple's and tons of other stuff like video camera's and such. There are composite/ RGB (CGA) monitors out there. But there are getting rare lately. There is only a small curcuit in front of a RGB monitor to make it composite. Why if multisync monitors can handle CGA (can they) then adding composite is a piece of cake. Where are they? Do I have to make my own? No msg 44036 Msg 44037 is 24 line(s) on 10/13/90 from GARY CLARK to BILL MATTSON re: R/COHERENT Hello, I got ahold of the coherent system about 2 weeks ago. As I have never used any sort of *nix before, I did have some problems. Here are soome of the problems I found. 1: The compress is 12bit due to the use of segmetion (64k code|64k data) 2: You can only write software in the small model (note: this is a kernel restriction and not in the complier (which is decent)) 3: The docs are OK, if you are familier with *nix already. . Now for some advantages: 1: For $99.95 the price is not to bad if you just want to learn how the *nix systems work. 2: If your just wanting to use it for some small apps for multi-user its perfect.(I just finished a schduling program and can have 3 people using it at the same time.(I have 2 Televideo terminals hooked up to a AT(286) and can have all three in use at once!!(try that in dos...)) 3: The complier is VERY decent, it close to other MWC work. 4: If you normaly use the small model any way, you should have no problems. . I hope this helps you. If I can be of anyhelp, leave a message here, on GENIE at G.CLARK8 or you could call me at home at 713-893-5893 and ask for GB(I live in Houston, TX for the time zone) .
