Re: cheap LCD screens...

["Richard Lockyer" <richard.lockyer@xxxxxxx>]

As promised, I have done a spot of testing on the Keycorp LCD
displays as seen on http://www.smoothlcd.co.uk/

They do work with Win2K, but as there are no drivers, I could only
get 640x480 16 colours.

Windows95 drivers are available for the Chip&Technologies 65540
chipset that is used on the VGA card. I managed to get 256 colours,
but still only 640x480.

This is fine for use as an interface for ACE or equivalent, and gave
acceptable results from my webcam.

I think with the base removed it may be possible to mount it flat
against a wall or cabinet.

Hope this helps

Richard
