I'm not POSITIVE, but I think a single-frequency VGA monitor should still be able to display CGA, given that your graphics card can support CGA software (most VGA cards can). However, I'd check with Amdek first to avoid unpleasant surprises! Msg 42504 is 14 line(s) on 09/20/89 from COLIN SCHROEDER to RICHARD HINTON re: R/RLL/MFM As far as I know, most RLL, ESDI and SCSI ctrlrs use c800:5 as the start address for their ll format routines, although I doubt it's universal! Also, many can be jumpered to move the address so as to bypass address conflicts with things like video BIOS, etc. For example, an Adaptec 2322 ESDI ctrlr can be jumpered to set the address at cc00:5. I'd use an ASCII/hex editor like the one in PC-Tools to look for setup code in the BIOS. Also, I'm not sure that MFM controllers HAVE BIOS based ll format! If the doc.s don't mention it and give the proper address, assume it doesn't. Disk Manager works well, and I don't believe there's any speed degradation; also, the RAM taken by the DMDRVR driver is quite small. Finally (and this is in reference to another reply to your msg), dos 3.3 doesn't allow partitions larger than 32 Mb, but 4.0+ and Compaq 3.31 DO. Good luck w/ everything!

I'd be interested to 'talk' with anyone out there who uses VM/386 for multitasking with common programs like WordPerfect, 1-2-3, and comm. software, as well as less common prog.s like statistical analysis software (esp.

With 200 different message bases, U/D libs for all computers, Email, and the ability to follow message threads instead of reading them chronologically. Soon to have On-line Dictionary and 32 phone lines. For a new telecomm experience, call: EIES (Electronic Info Exchange System) of the C.P.S. at: * (312) 890-8512 or (312) 890-8513 * (800) number soon! * * Suggest that you read the Quick Start Tutorial first - the software is a bit different than most BBSes you're use to using. Also, if you want to be able to receive Email, you'll need to create a Mailbox for yourself. Type E, for Email, and answer yes to prompts. Then you be able to enter a message about you and your interests - no line limit, so be creative if you wish. HANDLES are accepted if you desire. * Features include attaching files to messages, or vice-versa, ability to view contents of ZIPs and ARCs on-line, online conferencing, and much, much more. Tell them that Mr. Nobody sent you. --End of 42510 Msg #:?. Msg 42511 is 08 line(s) on 09/22/89 from RICHARD HINTON to ALL re: A GRAPHICS PROGRAM??
