Hi,
I'm new when it comes to transputer, anyway - as I am also interested in
graphics I convinced my company to get me a Videoputer to experiment with.
Ordered and paid when there were some money - more than one year later it
was shipped. With EIGHTEEN PAGES OF DOCUMENTATION!!! And no info at all
how to reach the 34010, just info how to use a dozen routines to draw a line
etc. I wrote Microway in England, they referred back to the new Swedish  
representative, who sent me the same 18 pages and obviously knew less than
I did. The graphics it comes as 640x350 = EGA! Somewhat extensible, but I
cannot get 800x600 noninterlaced, as I can with the VGA card just beside it!
I am thoroughly disappointed - is there anyone who can give me some
additional info?
