It is register compatible with ibm's vga and that does not seem to be a problem. What is giving me fits is that the software package I am porting uses both a monochrome monitor (with a monochrome card) and the color monitor with the vga card. The monochrome monitor is the primary monitor. What I cannot do is initialize the vga card from the program. If i use the mode command from dos, there is no problem, but I have had no luck in the program itself. It doesn't help that ibm provides no reasonable documen- tation. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Mitch Baltuch internet: m.s.baltuch@uacsc1.albany.edu
