I know that Macs since the IIx have been able to do this, but in limited capacity. That was before DCC signals were common so Apple came up with sense lines. PCs should be able to do this (at least newer ones), but succeed less often. Usually a PC bios starts up in 648x480 and doesn't change until Windows cranks up. Windows does support DCC signals, but it doesn't always heed them, overriding the DCC signals with what it has stored on disk.
To this day, I'll never understand why Windows must have a driver for a monitor...... -Robyn On Friday, March 14, 2003, at 09:42 AM, Stacy J. Dunkle wrote: > Is this just on Mac's?
