scr_color on Mac IIcx running A/UX 1.1?

[Frank W. Peters]

Hello,

     I have access to two apple A/UX boxes.  One is a Mac II running A/UX 1.0
and the other is a Mac IIcx running A/UX 1.1.  Both systems have 256 color
cards.

     On the Mac II/1.0 system the scr_color program alters the screen colors
as documented.  I am unable, however, to make it work on the IIcx/1.1 system.
I get no error message...the screen simply remains black and white.

     The manual entry for scr_color says:

>                                                 It is only useful when
> the screen is in 1 bit per pixel mode (see console(7)) and you
> are using the basic terminal emulator.

     I am assuming that the II/1.0 system is in this mode by default and
the IIcx/1.1 is not.  Unfortunately, all of my efforts to put it in the
correct mode have failed.  I have tried altering the /etc/ioctl.syscon
file to match that of the II/1.0 system and have tried using stty -g to
make their stty settings identical...all with no success.

     Does anyone have any pointers to how I can get this working?


                        Thanks
                        Frank Peters
