Larry Campbell offered to consult his tech. reference set for the Rainbow
if anyone needed info. I tried to get to him directly, but my system didn't
like his address. So, I'll try broadcasting it (anyone else who can help,
please join in). I'm looking into connection an NEC Multysync monitor to
my Rainbow. NEC have been really helpful about this - they even tried to
talk to Digital on my behalf but gave up when DEC kept on neglecting to
return their calls - and they've mailed me the OEM technical description
of the Multisync, with pinouts, voltages, etc. Can anyone provide me with
the analogous information for the Rainbow video? I'll post a summary, as
well as a progress report if I get around to doing this project. Also,
is there a way of asking the Rainbow graphics board what its current resolution
is at any time? (very useful when you're trying to READ the graphics memory
for use in an application!).
