The video card can output B/W or color, this is set by the jumpers on the vidocard itself. Grab the service manual and look at the schem for the video card to work out what the jumpers should be (i haven't made a note of this unfortunately) but its obvious from the schems. I've seen docs that say the video is 'IBM CGA compatible'... it is true that it is low-res 15hz, it has seperate syncs, and they're inverted, so invert them then combine them in order to run it on an arcade monitor... I have tested working 30pin 1MB RAM simms if you want to beef yours up, one assumes you can give it 8mb ram with the right dip settings... 9100's only have 4 slots, and 4mb max ram.

Hi,
Can anyone give me a clue on how to connect a monitor up to the 9100FT please? I have a B/W composite video monitor available to me (Tandy TRS-80 monitor), or of course a standard arcade monitor (10" MTC9000). Is it a simple case of wiring up the RGB and sync pins from the 9 pin d connector on the back to the arcade monitor or is there more to it than that?
I don't know if the video card in this unit is B/W or Colour, or if indeed there is a difference. Do they all do both?
And does anyone have any documentation specifically on the FT? Is there anything that says what the specific differences are beyond the HD floppy and the faster processor? There's 8 memory sockets for instance. Is that normal on all 9100's?
Thanks, Martin. _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist
