Re: What RAMDAC is in Thinkpad 755CD?



The game had auto-detected a "normal 8-bit RAMDAC"; their support suggested
trying "generic 24-bit RAMDAC", which indeed worked.  Alternative choices
included things like "Sierra 3X4dl 16-bit", "Sierra 4Z39 24-bit", "Paradise
GG3962 24-bit", etc. (numbers confabulated for this).  Western Digital 90C24
was a choice for the "video chip", but not for the RAMDAC.
