For those who inquired, here is some info about the COVID adaptor: According to the install sheet, "The Covid 123A Video interface is designed to connect certain computers to TVs with S-Video inputs. The large, clear, color displays, up to 80 column text, are useful for viewing by groups with these inexpensive TVs. High quality VCRs with S-video capabilities can also RECORD this signal and produce satisfactory results." The 800 number for reaching Covid is 1-800-638-6104. Address: Covid Inc. 1725 W. 17th Street Tempe, AZ 85281 Our cost for the cables we needed (2/93) to connect a TV to our DOS/Novell network was:$491.00. We use this method for teaching everything we have on the network (ie., Reader's Guide, Newsbank, Discovering Authors, Literary Index, etc.) with the exception of Resource One which we still teach in teams of six students per computer. For some reason Resource One only projects half of the screen. It is a problem which originates with UMI, we believe, since more than one person reports the same problem. Hopefully the new edition of Resource One will handle this problem. It is currently being piloted locally and the librarian reports some nice changes so far. Marianne (haase_m@hcca.oecn.ohio.gov)
