Commodore PC 10 - Co-Existence with Other Video Adapters

36 Operations Guide
This mode displays the high quality monochrome character set
on a monochrome monitor and runs high resolution Hercules
compatible
monochrome graphics software. GraphiCS software
written for the IBM Color/Graphics Adapter will not run under
this mode.
c) Color/Graphics Mode
Monitor-Commodore 1902 or equivalent RGBI color monitor,
-Composite NTSC color monitor, or
-Composite monochrome monitor
This mode allows for graphics in up to 16 colors in 320 x 200
resolution
or 4 colors in 640 x 200 resolution. It runs all normal
Color/Graphics programs as well as graphics packages that have a
Plantronics ColorPlus driver.
In this
mode the ATI Graphics Solution can also display up to 16
colors in
640 x 200 screen resolution. Advanced users may wish to
program their own software and information needed to do so is
supplied in Section D.6.
Switching
between Color/Graphics and Plantronics modes is done
automatically by your application software. All you need to do is set
your ATI Graphics Solution for Color/Graphics mode.
0.5 Co-Existence With Other
Video Adapters
The ATI Graphics Solution can be used for applications that require
both color and monochrome monitors. It can co-exist with another
ATI Graphics Solution, the IBM Monochrome/Printer Adapter, the
IBM Color/Graphics Adapter, the IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter
(EGA),
the Hercules Graphics Card and most other compatible
video adapters.
One adapter would control the monochrome
display while the other controls the color display. Possible Twin
Video Configurations are summarized in Table D-2.
For systems configured
with two video cards, the switch settings in
Table
D-l determine the primary display adapter when you power
up your Pc. For example, if your PC is set up for Color/Graphics
adapter,
it will use the Color/Graphics adapter on power up, and
the monochrome adapter will be idle. Use the MODE command
provided
with your MS-DOS to change the active display adapter.
