I finally managed to put together a system made by a IIsi, Portrait Display and relative card and cable. I love the weirdness of that display!
Everything works except for a little quirk: the monitor displays everything "taller" and "narrower" than it should, see attached image.
I did some research and came across this interesting thread:
My Portrait Display card is a 820-5037- revision A, 1987, 630-4179 but on the left side it reads "Workstation video card" and not "Workstation/Portrait Video card" (revision B like you see on TimHD pictures in that thread).
To make a long story short:
- am I doing something wrong on the software side? I also upgraded the System from 7.1 to 7.5 with no results (according to what Joethezombie writes, everything should just work right out of the box)
- am I using the correct video card for this monitor? I haven't been able to find clear information on this.
Hints and suggestions are always welcome. I know that this configuration is not a rare or supercool one but.... I like it!
