HELP!!

Please bear with me.  I am a new Geoworks user having a slight problem.  I have
an old Zenith Supersport 286.  For home, I use a Tandy EGA color monitor with
this computer.  I cannot get PC/GEOS to operate in color on this monitor.  None
of the selectionsin GEOS video setup will work.  A friend checked several 
software libraries for a driver that might make it work, but was unable to 
find anything.  

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your old 286 may have an old EGA card that doesn't have enough memory to run
GW in color. Check your system to find out how much video memory your card
has. Another possibility is that the Tandy monitor you are using is the CM-11
which is not a true EGA monitor. The CM-11 was made to display the Tandy
extended 16 color CGA graphics in the old 1000 series. It's possible that your
EGA card sees the monitor as CGA only.

In any case, GOOD LUCK!
