I've been fascinated with portrait-oriented CRTs since I first saw them in the 80s. The fascination turned real when I got my first about a year ago - a Tandy VGM-150 mono VGA display. And I am a big fan of AT&T 3B2s and will some day finally own a Blit or derivative.
But, I recently acquired a Genius display made by the CPT Corporation and the matching ISA driver card that goes with it:
I haven't tried connecting it to a machine yet. There is no power switch. I presume a signal is sent by the card once it received ISA bus power to turn on the CRT voltage.
The CPT Wiki Page refers to drivers for MS-DOS and others software support (eg. PC-Write, WordPerfect, WordStar, Lotus 1-2-3, etc) for 80 x 66 line text mode and Windows 3.x support for presumably 720 x 990+ mono graphics mode. Also being a second dedicated card, it appears you could run it along side other CGA/EGA/VGA cards in a system. Google search turns up a bunch of noise for anything CPT - as it is such a short generic acronym.
Anyone know where I might find support software for the card and display?
