From Ian Brumby (00355)
Got the Second Sight today... hooray! I've had to pull out my TransWarp GS to install it, since I have a ROM 01. I'll either have to get a ZIP GS (so I can put it in slot 4, and for the lower power usage) or buy a ROM 03 + heavy duty power supply. Life without an accelerator isn't nice. :)
I've only tried it with a SVGA monitor. The text mode impressed me the most. The dithered 640 mode impressed me the least. 320 mode is about the same. Of course, dithered 640 mode will look fine on my old monitor, but I'd still rather use the SVGA monitor. :)
Oh, the SVGA graphics modes look fantastic, but that goes without saying. :)
I actually thought I'd fried my power supply when I first tried out the card, but it turned out I'd just bumped the power cord while struggling with the VGA connector ;) The cable was too short, and caused the most problems (since I want to plug/unplug the monitor easily).
I'll upload the latest version of SecondView, plus the source code to SecondView...
Ian.
