The original SimCity 2000 had a strict requirement for an SVGA video card that supported 640x480 resolution with 256 colors. I used to believe that this was an inflexible requirement, but it turns out that the hardware requirements were eased in the Windows version. Not only did it allow the game to run in 16-color modes, but it was also bundled with a special VGA driver developed by Microsoft. This driver enabled modifications to the color palette, just like in the 256-color modes. I was com...| 80-90s Computing

“SuperCGA” and ATI Graphics Solution and GEM Desktop 8bit guy published a video about SuperCGA cards, which reminded me that this was a topic a recently dug into. I’ve never really worked with CGA/EGA monitors. When we had a computer at home for the first time in 1989, it was an IBM PS/2 Model 20 borrowed from dad’s office. That computer already had an on-board graphics chip that worked with VGA monitors. One year later, my family decided to buy our own computer. It was a 286 clone wi...| 80-90s Computing

It was a scaled-down version of the graphics board set from the SGI Personal IRIS and was intended for PC compatibles (16-bit AT bus) and PS/2 computers (MCA). The whole thing started when IBM licensed the graphics hardware and the IRIS GL 3D API for their IBM RS/...| 80-90s Computing
Iomega ZIP 100 drives Thanks to friends of mine, I was able to get two working parallel-port ZIP drives from Iomega. My father used to use these during the 1990s as ZIP disks were popular in offices in Czech Republic. He later switched to an internal ZIP drive connected to IDE when his parallel-port external one died and used it for another 10 years. I have a few systems where it is not possible to add a network controller so I though that this would be a good device for faster data transfers...| 80-90s Computing

When serving image assets, many web developers find it useful to have a feature that scales the image to a size specified in a URL parameter.
