With all this talk about modems going around, I suddenly realized I
have no idea if my intel card has a 16550 or 16450 UART.. anyone
know?
And while I'm writing: Anyone found any incompatibilities in the
video drivers for the 750 mono? I tried playing a game called OXYD (I
admit it -- I play games) and the gameplay was fine, but the program
obviously puts the screen in some strange mode.
It looks like what's happening is a 640x400 screen rez, in the upper
part of the screen. It's using another page to pre-load graphics.
Problem is, that other page (or at least the top 80 pixels) is getting
displayed on the the lower part of my mono screen. This doesn't occur
when I'm hooked to an external monitor. It's distracting, but doesn't
effect play.
I'm taking a wild guess this is mode X, and I'll go grab a couple of
other games which use it to see if I'm correct.. in the meantime, any
comments?
