5.1 Introduction
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 monochrome 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) moni-
tors 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.
