-
- The CDEV is called "Extra Bits" and it works great for eliminating the
- flicker. Apparently, (if my memory serves me!) System 6 uses some BRAM
- bits to tell the computer how to handle drawing the cursor if you are
- using an accelerator.
-
- Extra Bits is not shareware or freeware so I can't upload it for you.
- You can get it by buying a recent back issue of GS+. Or perhaps some-
- one has already written a PD program to accomplish the same thing?
