- Video 6 Drivers
- ---------------
-
- Version 2.0
-
- What is Video 6?
- ----------------
-
- Video 6 is a set of drivers which make Workbench run in Ham6 (hence the name Video 6), or Ham8.
- What this means to novice users is that you can have either 4096 or 262144 colors in a variety of
- resolutions.
-
- How can this be useful?
- -----------------------
-
- The one thing that limits Workbench is the lack of colors. This has plauged the Amiga since day one.
- Since AGA has become available, a wider variety of colors and mode appeared, and the possibility of
- Hires Ham screens came true. Have you dreamed of running a web browser in many colors? The only
- thing that limits you now is the Image Datatypes. The JFIF Datatype (on aminet) will do ham or ham8.
-
- Icons can now be Ham, and a Rexx macro is included to produce Ham6 Icons in ImageFX.
-
- What's new in this version?
- ---------------------------
-
- Well, some new monitors have been added. I live in Canada, a land of Microsoft and Bill Gates.
- It is VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE to find Amiga Compatible hardware in Ontario. That's why I feel your
- pain. I have suffered the woes of Pal and Canadian NTSC TV sets and have produced a set that
- you can use. I have a high respect for european standards of technology (far higher than canadian).
-
- Included here are drivers for:
-
- NTSC 60Hz
- PAL 50Hz
- Double NTSC
- Double PAL
- Euro 36Hz
- Euro 72Hz
- Productivity (VGA)
- Productivity Laced (VGA)
-
- Luckily, I have agquired a CBM-1802 Composite Monitor, which can display PAL (although in Black and
- White). Most modes have been tested.

- Credit
- ------
-
- Well, I have to once again thank the WBHacks AGA guy for the Idea. And, Most of all, I have to thank
- all of you for your feedback. I certainly appreciate Ideas, thoughts and opinions. Please
- accept my gratitude.
