Gary, In order to accomplish something using DirectoryOpus with my EGS Spectrum board, I need to know EGS' VGA (640×480) and SVGA (770×600, 800×600, and 1024×768) screen's unique screenmode ID's (i.e. standard amiga hires interlaced's screenmode ID is 32772). Any chance of obtaining a list of ID numbers (if such a list exists)? Thanks! // ** Commodore ** \X/ -<Comment left to the reader's imagination>- -RSL-

I don't have any of that information here, but I'll pass the request on to the operating system authors…

A little work with my SAS/C compiler and I've generated a database of ScreenMode ID's for EGS Spectrum screens: Type Size ScreenMode_ID VGA 640×480 67112961 NTSC 736×480 67112962 PAL 736×576 67112963 LACE 1024×768 67112966 SVGA 800×600 67112969 SVGA 1024×768 67112970 SVGA 770×600 67112971 I hope this helps any other intrepid EGS Spectrum user! // ** Commodore ** \X/ -<Comment left to the reader's imagination>- -RSL-

Thanks for your eager, and actually quite accurate, information. For the most part, your information is correct, but there is one flaw in your methods: The screenmodes present in your system only exist because of the MONITOR you selected for your EGS set-up. Other monitor selections have other screenmode resolutions, and naturally, other ID's. I'm trying to get a complete list of ScreenModes and ID's from the authors of the libraries for all the monitors and screenmode types. But, thanks again for your work. Whatever monitor you have selected, will always have the screenmode ID's you indicated below, so that should help at least a common group of EGS programmers… By the way, what monitor do you have selected? 🙂 ——————————————————————————- —————- A little work with my SAS/C compiler and I've generated a database of ScreenMode ID's for EGS Spectrum screens: Type Size ScreenMode_ID VGA 640×480 67112961 NTSC 736×480 67112962 PAL 736×576 67112963 LACE 1024×768 67112966 SVGA 800×600 67112969 SVGA 1024×768 67112970 SVGA 770×600 67112971 I hope this helps any other intrepid EGS Spectrum user! ——————————————————————————- —————-

Gary, My monitor is a standard C= 1950. Have you had a chance to find out why my 800x600x24 screen has a 41 Hz sync, while your's is 51 Hz ??? BTW, I'm expecting a new ver. 11 SuperBuster via UPS, so I should have my Spectrum up to full Zorro III speed by the weekend (as long as my A3000 survives the surgery <g>). Any idea when the EGS support libraries for programmers will be uploaded???? // ** Commodore ** \X/ -<Comment left to the reader's imagination>- -RSL-

Roy, Where did you find the rev11 SuperBuster? -Richard

Richard, I got the SuperBuster from Software Hut (tel. # 800-93-AMIGA). I plan on anesthetizing my Amiga Saturday morning, and performing a "Buster transplant", wish me luck! <if no one hears from me again, it means I blasted my motherboard during the "operation" <g> > // ** Commodore ** \X/ -<Comment left to the reader's imagination>- -RSL-
