🎆 ٩(˘◡˘)۶@timixretroplays @gloriouscow One machine. CGA video wall.
64kb@gloriouscow some how combine the output to make a horrific graphics cluster
@64kb @gloriouscow a 4x4 wall of monitors at 320x200 resolution would be a whopping 1280x800 pixels, quite respectable really
@timixretroplays @gloriouscow that's cool, I was thinking of young the color resolution instead
HowToPhil (Phillip R)@gloriouscow Is the problem that you don't have 17 CGA cards?
@howtophil well if you count the two I already have, i will have 18
@gloriouscow Ah, then the problem is that you don't have 20!
@howtophil I am going to SLI them
@gloriouscow CGA-Intelligence
penguin42@gloriouscow wth are you going to do with that many - and CGA of all boring standards!
I may have a plan. a concept of a plan
@gloriouscow A cunning plan?
@penguin42 I have been working on trying to make a CGA card gay
Tristan@gloriouscow
I've been pricing CGA cards for months like someone shopping for cars.
"Vga mode, low profile, good price, but I don't trust the brand"
I have too many cool CGA monitors and only 8088 computers with built in CGA cards. It's immoral.
@Tristan what do you have that has built in cga?
@gloriouscow A tandy 1000 and tandy 1000SX. I actually have a full length 5150 CGA card still in the box, but its waaaay too big for my IBM 386 PS/2 or my pentiums.
@Tristan oh but those are TGA not CGA
That aliexpress CGA card isn't terrible and would probably fit
@gloriouscow
True, TGA it is. To be honest, I always though Tandy 1000s had an onboard TGA card and a seperate onboard CGA card that used the same DB9 connector. Didn't realize the TGA chip was doing the CGA too.

@Tristan It pretty much is a copy of the PCjr's VGA (no, not that VGA) except they did the very smart thing of letting you move the 128K memory window to the top of your RAM so that DOS wasn't running out of the wait state tar pit
@Tristan It is pretty funny how Tandy just looked at the PCjr and stole all the good ideas while just not doing all the dumb shit IBM did and surprise, a commercially successful computer was born
@gloriouscow
Im a sicko that likes infrared peripherals, but the PC JR chicklet keyboard is cursed and the main reason I turned down buying one 10ish years ago.

we did a little thread on that not too long ago
'(vidak) _(:3」∠)_@gloriouscow how much did you pay? very curious
@dirtycommo $12 a card, shipping included
@gloriouscow incredible... you have the right idea
C64WhizNah, you're good. As long as you buy in "Binary Quantities" (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) you're fine.
Dan Cassidy 🦌@gloriouscow 64 colours total, between them that's almost one Amiga
@whimsy each displaying one 16th of Amy Squirrel
@gloriouscow I had to look that reference up! I vaguely, very very vaguely recognise Amy Squirrel, like I've seen her in passing before once or twice, but somehow she's never really entered my consciousness. How weird 😳
@whimsy Eric Schwartz was how a lot of people with er, certain interests learned about the Amiga in the US in the 90's.
@gloriouscow lol whereas here it was already like, the most popular computer, and I doubt many people had heard of Amy Squirrel because very few people had a modem or could afford to use it regularly if they did.
