Re: [M100] DVI character set

Hey George, When you execute SCREEN 0 or SCREEN 1, it sets a variable indicating the selected screen at the following addresses: M100:  F638H T200:   EF06H This will be 0 for LCD or 1 for DVI. Or you can look at the active ROWs, COLs addresses M100:    ROWS: F63Bh   will be 8 or 25   

Re: [M100] DVI character set

Random questions. 1. Is there an easy way to identify from BASIC, a computer which is connected to a DVI. 2. Is there a range of memory that I can access from BASIC that mirrors the DVI screen contents? Basically, I've updated Text Sweeper to properly ID the model 200 and check the right LCD

I'm back at this. In the emulator I am working on. Ow, I have to redo the fonts. I'm free to use whatever I want. So, which one of these fonts is actually used by the dvi? The 8x8 or the 7x8? On Thursday, January 28, 2021, Tom Wilson wrote: > Ooh! There are actually two fonts in the 4K ROM

Re: [M100] DVI character set

Ooh! There are actually two fonts in the 4K ROM Here's the second one [image: image.png] This is the same font, but with only 7 bits used. I'm betting this is the same as the internal font on the M100 itself. Here's one of the characters (255) for comparison: Bank 0: [image: image.png] Bank 1:

Re: [M100] DVI character set

It doesn't matter - all that actually matters is the format the terminal firmware expects in the font file. The terminal will decide the aspect ratio of the pixels based on the number of columns and rows and the display resolution. Tom Wilson wilso...@gmail.com (619)940-6311 On Thu, Jan 28,

The rom bit patterns are only 1/2 the story. The other half is the shape of a pixel, which probably isn't square. On Thu, Jan 28, 2021, 4:53 PM Jim Anderson wrote: > > -Original Message- > > If you're going to do that much, then I will grab some more pics with a > > better camera and a

Re: [M100] DVI character set

Added a few more snapshots from a low-end capture device with the composite from the DVI connected directly to the composite input of the capture device. The pics look bad, but they also look like what a typical small cheap color crt actually looks like, blurry and and with the red/blue

Re: [M100] DVI character set

I've put some snapshots from a video capture device up in the same directory with the rom dumps. The image is scaled from composite 4:3 input to 1080p 16:9 hdmi output, but not stretched. The aspect ratio is preserved. On Wed, Jan 27, 2021, 4:37 PM Jim Anderson wrote: > > -Original

Re: [M100] DVI character set

thanks Mike, similar motivations for sure. The other part of it is that the M100 DVI character set is unique and related to the M100. So, thinking to both improve it and change the character set to "M100 style". On Wed, Jan 27, 2021 at 2:21 PM Mike Stein wrote: >
