In Reply to: ArcadeOS hot-swapping? posted by Alan on 15, 2001 at 9:47 AM:
In fact, what you discribed is exactly what I am currently doing, until I but a tv in my cab. I boot out to dos and then type in my arcadeos directory and run it. My monitor goes blank and then a bouncing square comes on that says "Frequency out of range" and then gives the frequency. I then swap the cables and turn on the arcade monitor. Actually, I no longer swap the cables but instead have both monitors wired to a switchbox so I actually just switch it.
: Is it possible to use the 'Arcade monitor' option in arcadeos on a PC monitor without damaging it?
: If so, could I then hot-swap my pc monitor VGA lead for my converted pc2jamma VGA lead without damaging the videocard?
: I know this may sound like a roundabout way of doing it but:
: I don't have any experience in editing'autoexec' of 'system' files, and
: I plan on using the computer for other PC-type things too.
: Answers greatly appreciated...
: Thanks,
: Alan.
