 		 #137578 - He may be a bit misguided
Responding to: ???'s previous message
IIRC, the monochrome VGA's of the '80's, when the VGA standard was new and even monochrome VGA monitors were costly, was to put the monochrome video information on GREEN.

Using monochrome means he can drive just one DAC, but it's still going to be a challenge.

                              sure, but what problem is that            01/01/70 00:00      
               It's the demand for precise timing            01/01/70 00:00

                  Ive used an spi interface            01/01/70 00:00      
                     This is the arbitary display overlay jobby            01/01/70 00:00      
      A NICE VIDEO GENERATING AND PROCESSING EXAMPLE!!            01/01/70 00:00      
         Is it VGA?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Video Buffer            01/01/70 00:00

         Well there are ways and ways ....            01/01/70 00:00

                  If the MCU can\'t do it all ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     how about this one            01/01/70 00:00      
                        "stuffer"            01/01/70 00:00      
                           it'd better be a really cheap MCU            01/01/70 00:00      
                              why?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        the guy who pays for it would notice.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           why?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              The extra MCU contributes nothing. Why use it?            01/01/70 00:00

                                       sure, but            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          True, but only sometimes ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             HUH?            01/01/70 00:00
