Continuation from General Hardware

[cbman]

Well... the Athena documents are a start eh... It said it may take up to a week to get a password to the developers site... This card was made back in the day when anything with compaq on the label was highly modified.. hell I remember them telling me back when I had a compaq 486 that they recommended I get a special compaq version of windows95... LOL

Thanks anyways... maybe I will send compaq an email...

C/C++ and assembly are the preferred languages for such development. I don't know how well COBOL can access to I/O ports and physical memory. Also, you can always refer to MystCLK and MillCLK source codes for examples in assembler, or G200CLK in C/C++.

That I might have to do.. even though it may take me a while to figure out exactly what I am doing it should pass for some infomative amusment that may look good on a resume... as it stands though I still have to wait to see if its even programmable... if not I wonder if you could replace the clock signal generator with one of a higher signal rate.

(For those of you who know of the composition of or engineering of vid cards.. please be nice... I couldn't take advanced hardware design in school.. so what I say may just not be possible)
