Strange part:

At any color/grayscale depth greater than 4bit, the screen timings go nuts, but the image doesn't go away entirely!

1024 x 768 test results:

RPC24XP-24XROM2.0-16bitC.jpg

RPC24XP-24XROM2.0-24bitC.jpg

Notice that the color palette bars look the same for 16 and 24 bit . . .

1152 x 870 test results:

24XP-X-1152x870x24bitC.jpg

Sorry the 19" results aren't done systematically, it's late, I'm really tired and I wanted to get this up tonight . . .

From my investigations for the ongoing SuperMac Spectrum/24 Project, I have a sneaking suspicion that a dab of crystal replacement therapy might go a long way.

IIRC, the XP does a lower res than the X, it does a creditable job of trying to get the disallowed resolutions onto my MultiSyncCRT. I have no idea if the timings are within the tolerances of an LCD, but the fact that they're only slightly garbled/doubled up in Video Memory (the screen shot data) leads me to believe that investigations of the VRAM on the XP and the Crystal Clocks on both cards are in order.

g'night! :sleepy:
