Enrico "meldrian" MichaelisHeute Morgen hatte ich kurz so einen verwirrten Retro-/Nostalgie Moment wie sie hier und da stattfinden so lange der 1. <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Kaffee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kaffee</a> im System noch fehlt. Ich blicke als nach links in Richtung meines Werkstatttisch und die Rückseite eines PC schaut mir direkt in die Augen. Ich lasse meinen Blick, nicht ganz bei der Sache, schweifen und bemerke wie ich mir selbst die Frage stelle "Was ist das eigentlich für ein großer klobiger Anschluss neben <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/VGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VGA</a>, wer denkt sich denn so was aus?" DVI. Ich meinte den <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DVI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DVI</a> Anschluss. "Digital Visual Interface".

JagermoYou guys! My box of old <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cables</a> paid off! I bought an old optiplex 7010 as media server and could not get an image via displayport. The monitor triggered but nothing showed up.

Bits&Terminal JeffBy the way, do go take a look at <a href="http://jcm-1.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">http://jcm-1.com</a> as there's a ton of cool retro stuff. The A2DVI is one of those things and likely is a better choice for most as it's HDMI compatible. But I chose the VGA version because I happen to have a VGA-only 5:4 LCD monitor and because VGA was released in 1987, when the Apple II line was still heavily in use - making them contemporary.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retroComputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VGA</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AppleII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleII</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1980s</a>

Stefan :veritrek:Haha.. just bought a <a href="https://social.stefanberger.net/tags/VGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VGA</a> cable

argv minus oneTo solve this, Windows 95 came with a driver for the IBM <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/VGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VGA</a>. It supported only 16 pre-defined colors and only one resolution, 640×480. Even the default desktop background—a teal color—could not be displayed in this mode; a gray color was used instead. It was also slow: the CPU had to work hard to arrange pixels into the peculiar planar format that VGA expected.But it worked. You got a barely functional desktop from which you could install the real driver for your GPU.2/
