GSX-86 Device Specific Information
DATAMEDIA COLORSCAN-IO WITH DIGITAL ENGINEERING RETRO-
GRAPHICS (GEN.II)
FILENAME
DDGN2D.SYS
DEVICE INDEX
The actual device index for this device is determined
in the ASSIGN.SYS file, which associates a device
index with a GIOS module (device driver).
MAXIMUM BAUD RATE
9600 baud for all graphics
COMMUNICATIONS
Standard serial communications (RS-232C). The
COLORSCAN-IO uses XON-XOFF flagging to
avoid losing data at high baud rates.
GRAPHIC INPUT (GIN)
When GIN is invoked on the COLORSCAN-IO
Retro-Graphics terminal, a crosshair cursor appears
on the screen. The crosshair can be moved by press-
ing one of the four cursor movement keys. When the
cursor is at the desired location, the point can be
selected by pressing any alphanumeric key (other
than RETURN). This causes the coordinates of the
point to be transmitted back to the user program.
TEXT
The COLORSCAN Retro-Graphics terminal has
continuous scaling character sizes. Text can be
rotated in 90-degree increments. One font, standard
ASCII vector characters, is available.
