Cheers Shane.
erm, install? - I just got a floppy with the following files :-
AUTO800x600.PRG
AUTO1024x768.PRG
800x600.PRG
1024x768.PRG
NEWDESK.INF
I just assumed that I chose one PRG and away I went?
Installation? - no!
DIP Switches?
Yes, the thought has crossed my mind, there are a handful of DIPs on the motherboard, that I wouldnt mind finding out about! both Jumpers, and switches - any clues?
Originally, the Titty had a pair of extra serial ports ( giving it 4 x 9 pin serials I suppose ) so perhaps the jumpers are setup for that instead, but then they go onto their own ports, not the VME, so maybe not?!?!?!?!
I am pretty pissed off with the whole thing now!
Ok, I will go look for DOVER RESEARCH CORP as thats all the info I could get so far, and only because it displays it before killing itself!
Also, I had some success in that LEDPANEL loaded up one time, and when I went to CTRL-ALT-DEL it swapped between time & date, so it obviously does not die completely!
What else?
I noticed how horribly slow the card was, so, I ran GEMbench on it to see...
Shit, its slower with NVDI, than the TT is without!
Hells bloody bells!
Why am I bothering?
How much were these new? they are crap! - I mean even if I did get it going, what bloody use would it be? I might as well get the ET4000 going on the ST for all the speed it WONT give me!
Anyway, any further help will be rather spiffing hey what old chap.
