Simultaneous display mode

The 65550 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced and non-interlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA monochrome) in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are supported as analog monitors.

Both CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The SBC-599 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. In the utility diskette, there are three .COM files that can be used to select the display. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:

CT.COM

Enables CRT display only

FP.COM

Enables panel display only

SM.COM Enables both displays at the same time.
