Will you follow up on this with EGA,VGA, VESA episode aswell? You must be getting alot of experience from X3 that could be put to good use in such episodes. I have done a fair deal of VGA, but never EGA og VESA (SVGA,XGA etc) so could be nice to see a episode on those.
Is SVGA support out of question for your dream computer?
I’ve got this really weird fixation on wanting to get a 16MB 65816 board and then rewrite Haiku operating system (an open source re-implementation of BeOS) to run on it.
Back in the day I jumped from C64 6502 to the MC68000 in the Macintosh. Now wish I had a 65816 platform to do hobbyist things. It’s a CPU that I basically skipped past and yet it’s still made today (back then I did do a lot of professional dev for the 80286 so well acquainted with segment register addressing to get beyound 64K).
Am not a gamer like you, though – just would like to re-implement things that computer science and the industry have already done – like create operating systems from the ground up. And the point you make in your dream computer articles is that the old 8-bit/16-bit era computers were far more understandable.
hey please please tell me how do you enable composite mode in lhx ?????????????????????????
I don’t think it has a composite mode. But it will work on composite if your computer has a composite output.
