<div>John,</div> <div> </div> <div>The only real problem I had with the Micropro was the 8 bit processor, so only 256 resolution. Of course, the old-school square box was ultra non-ergonomic, for those that cared about that.</div> <div> </div> <div>Yes, you could program it to only transmit the necessary channels, and yes it did increase the frame rate. IIRC, the reset pulse was fixed at something like 2.5 or 3 ms.</div> <div> </div> <div>Bob R.</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>John Ferrell <johnferrell@earthlink.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16587" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FWIW, I am with you all the way on this issue. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is unfortunate that the Micropro was killed in its infancy.
