I have seen references in both AW and AC of a Canadian company
selling a 'flicker fix' cable at ~$40, that when used in
conjunction with a TTL (I think that's the acronym) monitor
eliminates flicker in interlace mode.
What are TTL monitors? What are the brands that one would
recognize? What is their usual cost? Does DEC make/sell any that
could be bought through an Employee Purchase Plan?
Thanks

Warning: off the top of my head BS coming:
TTL - transistor-transistor logic.
TTL terminal: digital terminal. Can only display like 16 colors.

TTL monitors use TTL levels to interface to the computer.
So, you get the 8 primary colors and 8 halfbright versions thereof.
An EGA monitor would probably work. I don't know if we sell EGA
monitors with our Tandy PC's or not.
This sounds like a solution for text only. Any program that wants
specific colors isn't going to get them...

I saw something about this cable recently, it allows you to connect to
a Hercules monitor (which is yet another PC 'standard'). Interesting,
though - all the Amstrad (Schneider) PC1640/PC1512 with mono monitors,
have Hercules graphics (don't know about colour ones.) Which means that
there are thousands of mono hercules monitors around her in the UK.
