Dear admin colleagues,
could you please help me with a question about a combination of
graphics adapter and display ?
I use an Alpha Station 200 4/166 which contains an 8-plane TGA card,
it currently has a VRT17-HA monitor attached running at 1024*768
resolution.
Now a VRT19-HA monitor has become available (formerly used at a
DEC 3000-M300 which is now taken out of service) which I would
like to use at the AS 200 described above.
Questions:
1) The monitor was made in 1992, and the TGA card is also some
years old. Where could I find technical data and other info
about these ?
(First tries at "www.digital.com" and "www.compaq.com"
did not lead me to the desired info, and the manuals delivered
with the system are God knows where - fluctuation of people.)
2) I got the impression that my TGA card has 1 MB of video RAM,
does this seem plausible ?
If yes - can it be upgraded, or would I need a new card
to support higher resolutions on that larger screen ?
3) I did not yet open the (now obsolete) DEC 3000, but I assume
its graphic card will not fit into the AS 200. Correct ?
Thank you for tips,
Joerg Bruehe
