MONOGRAPH COMPATIBILITY WITH MS WORD
Located in position U38 of the MonoGraph card is a programmable
CRT controller device. The CRT controller generates the signals
necessary to interface a digital system to a raster scan CRT
display.
MICROSOFT Corporation currently has a word processor called
"WORD". Due to the parameters utilized to program the registers
of the CRT controller, this particular program (WORD) requires
that an enhanced version of the CRT controller be present. The
symptom of not having an enhanced version of this chip is that
the display goes into a vertical roll.
Listed below are CRT controller devices that will allow the
"WORD" to operate properly.
