1.1Introduction
The CPC-2520 is an extension VGA/LCD module for the CPC-2245 mini biscuit PC. The CPC-2520 uses a C&T 69000 chipset for its PCI/SVGA controller. It supports many popular LCD, EL, and gas plasma flat panel displays and conventional analog CRT monitors. The 69000 VGA BIOS supports mono- chrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. In addition, it also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (color and mono-chrome VGA) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multi-sync) monitors are handled as if they were analog monitors.
With on-board 2 MB display memory, the VGA controller can drive CRT displays or color panel displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 64 K colors.
CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The CPC-2520 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to simultaneous display mode.
