Hi everybody, I got my 750 a week ago, so now I'm joining the list!
I'm studying engineering physics; though it seems as if I am sliding over
to medicine and biological research...
I have a 750C with 170/8, but I think I'll have to replace the ram-card for
something bigger. (btw, I saw in another post that someone talked about
3rd party ram; Is there anybody who could mail me / the list prices of
(cheap..) cards with 8 MB or more in the US?)
I'm running OS/2, but I do have some long-term plan of getting it to run
with NeXTStep? Is there anyone who has tried or will try it?
If there are any other Swedish users on the list, please feel free to
write me a line!!
Oh yes, one more item: I don't know if you are familiar with NeXTStep, but
it seems it will only give you 2 bit grayscale on notebooks.
It's got something to do with adressing and a linear video frame buffer,
something which can only be accomplished with localbus. The 2-bit driver,
however is an emulation of this buffer. I can't be impossible to write a
driver for 8-bit color emulation, can it?
The other way to go is if the WD90C24 chip is used in some
video cards on the market (local bus cards). Is it? If so, what card?
See ya,
Erik
