Electronics Forum / CAD / January 2008Eagle 3.51 800x600 video
Okay, I should upgrade, but I just got this problem with Eagle 3.51. I moved to a fast motherboard, still running DOS, but with a Radeon7000 video card. Now all the video drivers that came with Eagle crash-- except the 640x480. Some lock up the cpu, others just scramble the screen. I actually purchased new versions of Eagle, but the UI was so horrible we decided to stay with the DOS version-- have is it been fixed? I can try a download. In the meantime, is is possible to salvage at least 800x600? TIA, Steve. >[...]I just got this problem with Eagle 3.51. >[...] >I actually purchased new versions of Eagle, >but the UI was so horrible we decided to stay with the DOS version As your question is tightly targeted: news://news.cadsoft.de/eagle.support.eng news://news.cadsoft.de/eagle.userchat.eng >>[...]I just got this problem with Eagle 3.51. >>[...] >>I actually purchased new versions of Eagle, >>but the UI was so horrible we decided to stay with the DOS version >As your question is tightly targeted: >news://news.cadsoft.de/eagle.support.eng >news://news.cadsoft.de/eagle.userchat.eng I can't post to those groups.

Thanks. > >>[...]I just got this problem with Eagle 3.51. > >>[...] [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks. are you blacklisted ? those are public usenet "style" groups hosted by cadsoft (ie. news://news.cadsoft.de) there is no membership reqired to post just point your news reader to those links and subscribe however, the posts are filtered / monitored by cadsoft and so they decide which questions are allowed to post ? maybe they have a list of registered posters that get direct post priveledges but i am no registered user and have posted there before. hth, robb I am not quite sure why anyone is still using DOS. There are loads of Windows versions of PCB CAD software out there. Of course it takes a little time to get used to new software but it is well worth the effort. I have a CAD package I got for less than £20 and it does 127 layers autorouting and autoplacing of components ! It is not restricted by the DOS memory limits either. I can design PCB's upto 50 inches by 50 inches. >I am not quite sure why anyone is still using DOS. >There are loads of Windows versions of PCB CAD software out there. >Of course it takes a little time to get used to new software but it is [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >It is not restricted by the DOS memory limits either. >I can design PCB's upto 50 inches by 50 inches. As always you are not saying that you are SELLING a package and that your opinion is totally biased. Anyone remotely interested in buying your package should do a search on your name, and would probably come to the conclusion that dealing with you would be a grave mistake. If anyone has 20 pounds to waste, rather give it to a recognised charity than to this guy.

Just so. >Where does it say in my email I am selling ? Well, let's recap: >>>I have a CAD package I got for less than £20 Explain how you paid *yourself* £20. I suspect that you wanted someone to ask the name of it and where you got it. To all who were thinking about that: This vendor has a record of having difficulty telling the truth as well as other serious character defects --under whatever nym he is using this week. http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics.cad/browse_frm/thread/7eb8dfaa19e d5709/a74114ef2d864b4a?q=his-ethics+zz+Wrighty+ugly.schematics+KNOW-YOUR-VENDOR+ god.awful (The low quality of his product has also been mentioned before.)

Anyone remotely interested in buying [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Where does it say in my email I am selling ? That is the whole point. All your posts are always a non-informative and inappropriate attempt to get people to ask you where they can get the "wonderful" PCB software you are using. If they contact you, then purely by coincidence you SELL this software. >Does it point to a website ? This particular post of yours does not, but you often say you "got" it off ebay. >Go and waste someone elses time ! That is what people have trying to get you to do for quite some time now. Luckily for us your history on this and other groups has been archived, and anyone can go and find for themselves exactly why it would be unwise to purchase anything from you.

Surely hundreds of people cant be wrong ? Yes, a VESA video problem. It's in the Video card drivers. I used 3.51 up till last year. The latest version works well. I haven't looked back. Keyboard commands are the same. Cheers > Okay, I should upgrade, but I just got this problem with Eagle 3.51. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Steve. DOS programs wont work under Vista if they write directly to the video memory. I really would suggest getting away from DOS. It has serious restrictions on memory. >DOS programs wont work under Vista if they write directly to the video >memory. >I really would suggest getting away from DOS. >It has serious restrictions on memory. I doubt Vista is a serious contender for CAD applications. For me it is all about ease of use and speed. If I notice a delay between an action and the result of that action, or if the timing changes, then I don't like the application. Linux is pretty good, a lot better than Windows, for CAD, but even it is not as fast a DOS box running only one program. Peace.  SignatureSteven D.
