+Larry Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 For the heck of it, riddle me this: How can someone say on one hand "I like my 30-year old computer system." But on the other say. "I don't like this or that Dos because it is antiquated?" In the end, it's all preferences and opinions based on preferences. (Much like politics and "which is better an Atari or a C64?") BTW, I looked through a MyDos manual, but could not find "sucks ass" listed as a feature... -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hello Larry I've been a beta-tester for MyDOS for a long time. Never experienced the feature you're mentioning. greetings Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like menu driven DOS as I am rarely if ever doing anything that a command line DOS would be better for. Each to their own I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Candle, I notice you have a CF card, SD card, and physical HD plugged in. I assume this means the device will handle all 3 simultaneously? Stephen Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have my 1084 monitor up here, and am working on a custom ST cable (13-pin DIN to 6-pin DIN). I'll use the same cable for my ST and VBXE machine. I thank Beetle for the idea.

flashjazzcat Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Ditto. FJC wanted to write some decent GUI. But for standard GR.8 it lacks sense IMHO. Maybe someone will do something decent for VBXE. The much talked-about GUI will provide VBXE support eventually, although the optimum screen mode would be 640x400, which can only be accomplished using interlacing. Not everyone who'll buy the PBI device will also have VBXE, I'll wager. There'll be (somewhere far down the line) a driver package for VBXE for those lucky enough to own one.

+bob1200xl Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well..... you could do 640x400 without interlacing if you had a monitor to display it. Most of our modern LCD TV screens will handle 480i and 480p thru the component input. Set up four GR.8 screens and digitize the video - run that thru a look-up table. 640x400 as you like it! You could boot in 480i and switch to 480p on the fly. The monitor will follow along. What you would lose, for the most part, is the 60hz frame rate. Using four screens would choke it down to 15hz, I would expect. Unless you have a VBXE - not sure what one of those can do. Bob Ditto. FJC wanted to write some decent GUI.
