IIsi Standard Output Resolution

Posted by: Innes on 2019-09-11 15:53:48 Hi all I got a IIsi today, its jolly nice and up and running, just finished the long runaround of finding and putting a copy of stuffit on it that isn't compressed with stuffit, thats always fun :/ I have it outputting to an LCD screen via a converter to VGA but im not entirely sure what its actually outputting, as System 7.1 doesn't seem to have any resolution options in the monitor control panel. So its onboard video is either outputting 512 x 384 or 640 x 480. Is there a best way to find out which? Cheers!

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2019-09-11 20:23:20 What are the settings on the VGA converter? The converter is telling the IIsi what resolution to output. Can't imagine it being set to 512 x 384 and working so easily?

Posted by: Innes on 2019-09-12 01:11:07 Oh i see, its the converter itself. Thanks for that Switches 1,4 and 5 are turned on, I'll have to wait to this eve to check what that means in it's guide.

Posted by: Innes on 2019-09-12 14:29:58 145 seems to equate to both 640x480 66hz, and Hi-Res 12-14". Not sure what the difference is but both are in in Composite Sync. I was rather hoping I would be able to feed the signal into my capture card so that another monitor on the desk wasn't nececery, however it doesn't seem to be able to pick up the signal. Same goes for my 630 in this resolution however its fine with that machine running in 800x600 and I don't know enough to know why. (832x624 also works but there is interfearence when putting out that). Perhaps one of these other combinations may help (sans those with too high a resolution).
