I have an old Planar wall mount with Chips & Tech video, powered by a T.I. 486DX100 (the BIOS is 7 years old). I originally bought it to use the frame buffer in a portable application, and this patch is the FIRST time I've ever obtained an image. Thanks!
The colormap is wrong, but at least I have some sort of working device now. I shelved the project over a year ago, what's a good site to come up to speed on?
