Hi OS9er's (& fellow netters), I've had a chance to peruse OS9000 documentation
and have a stupid question for those guys at MW.....  Why is the video mandated
to be VGA? Why couldn't a autosensing video driver be used ( along with
autosizing/scaling)? For those Virtual PC applications that are text based, why
wouldn't a CGA or EGA do? 80 columns text is 80 columns text irrespective of
the video card used under MSDOS. Just curious 8-)
