Hercules monitor

Post by omarsis81 »

I'm asked to reset PCem when I only want to change the monitor type in Hercules (eg. from green to amber). Is really a reset needed here?

PCem currently has no way to communicate configuration changes to currently running machines, so yes.

But we can change CPU speed and video buses on the fly without the need to reset...

You can change CPU speed (but not video buses - not sure what you're referring to here...) because there's specific code to handle that. Not to handle generic device configuration.
