psfs2mda(1) PSF Tools psfs2mda(1) NAME psfs2mda - extract the font from a dump of the IBM PC MDA ROM SYNOPSIS psfs2mda [--compaq] [--comment=text] INPUT14 INPUT8 [INPUT8_ALT] OUT- PUTFILE DESCRIPTION psfs2mda generates an MDA character ROM image from two or three PSF- format screen fonts. The output file can be used to create a new char- acter ROM for an original IBM CGA or MDA, or (with the --compaq option) a Compaq CGA. You must supply either two or three input files. The first file is used for the 14-pixel font, the second for the 8-pixel font, and the third, if present, for the alternative (thin) 8-pixel font. If the third file is not present, psfs2mda will attempt to use characters 256-511 of the second file. If the second file only has 256 characters, the alterna- tive 8-pixel font will be the same as the main 8-pixel font. Note that the physical ROM chip used in an IBM MDA or CGA is a 9264, with a pinout which differs from the normal 27xx range. OPTIONS --compaq Output a ROM image suitable for the Compaq Portable/Deskpro CGA, rather than the IBM MDA/CGA. --comment=message When outputting in Compaq format, it is possible to embed a mes- sage (usually a copyright message) in unused bytes of the ROM. This option sets the message to include. SEE ALSO psf2raw(1), mda2psf(1) AUTHOR John Elliott <seasip.webmaster@gmail.com>. Version 1.0.8 21 June, 2008 psfs2mda(1)
