Aero video-specifications - the 256 color problem and much more

last updated: 20.01.1998

The Aero 4/25m has a SPC8108F0c, the 4/33c a SPC8106F0b video chip from SMOS.
Here is a picture from the SPC8106F0b in my Aero (10kB).

(BTW: The 4/25 is NOT upgradable to color LCD, no way!)

There is still the question about the Aero 4/33c:
The SMOS data-sheets and software utilities for the SPC810x are available at: The software utilities from SMOS do not work (unless one), this is because the video BIOS is from Compaq.

There is only one demo program that works: SPRITEST.
If you want to have fun with your pop up icon then start this demo in a DOS box and activate the pop up feature (or was it the other way around?). - it is pretty cool! Why not play ping pong with the pop up icon...
