Abstract: The present invention provides a CD-ROM player which can be installed and used as simply as a VCR. The CD-ROM player includes a CD-ROM drive and supporting hardware and software to activate and execute a program on a CD-ROM disk. It is not necessary to explicitly issue commands to activate and use the disk. The user interface is completely intuitive and simple even for someone who is completely computer illiterate. This player allows everyone, both proficient computer users and those not so proficient, to use the vast library of CD-ROM programs that have been written for personal computers.

Abstract: A display control means such as a virtual display adapter (110) allows the advanced functions of a display controller to be utilized in a large area of memory in addition to the normal use in display memory (120). This large area of memory includes system memory (130), and efficient access to this large area of memory is permitted for normal system use. The display controller also functions with non-contiguous and non-resident bitmaps. The flexibility of demand-paged virtual memory is utilized for display tasks, as display bitmaps may be written to the large area of memory as well as the display memory.

Abstract: A method for improving the viewing quality of a CRT display image without increasing resolution of the display. With the invention disclosed herein, characters are apparently positioned at sub-pixel locations to improve the viewing quality of a CRT display image. This apparent positioning is accomplished by changing intensity values assigned to pixels on a CRT display. In the preferred embodiment, the change in intensity values is effected by linear interpolation with intensity values of neighbouring pixels to yield second intensity values. These second intensity values, then, improve the viewing quality of the CRT display image.

Abstract: A video random access memory includes an implementation of a serial access memory register that facilitates the selecting from two alternate frame buffers on a per pixel basis, wherein the frame buffers are each stored in a portion of a row in a single video RAM, data from each of the two frame buffers is available following data transfer to the serial access memory register, a double buffer select signal controls the selection of which half of the serial access memory register will put data on the output bus for each serial clock signal, and the serial clock increments the address pointers in both halves of the serial access memory port simultaneously.

Abstract: In a video random access memory which includes an implementation of a serial access memory register facility which allows the external selection of the portion of the SAM to be scanned out, a control signal is provided which causes the reloading of serial access memory address counter causing the serial scanning to shift from one to another of the serial access memory registers, resulting in an ability to select a stopping point when scanning out of the serial access memory, thereby allowing both the starting and ending points of the data to be scanned out of the serial access memory, to be specified.
