Hey Guys,
Years ago when the earth was young (as was I), I had
a commodore 64. This system could display 4 colors in 160 by
200 pixels or 2 colors in 320 by 200 pixels. Two years ago I
purchased an IBM clone (DTK to be precise) with a monochrome
screen. Now I wish to purchase either an VGA or SVGA display
and card. But being rather confused with today's display
technology, I have decided to turn to the net for the answers
to two questions of mine.
I'm considering buying an SVGA card and screen. But,
I wish to program these in QuickC 2.5. I've looked it up and
QC does not support SVGA. Does anyone know where I can get
some drivers or libs that would enable me to program up to
SVGA resolutions?
Also, being that I only have $500 to spend on both
card and screen, should I get higher the quality card (logix
for $179) or the higher quality screen?
Thanks for any help,
J.E.P.
