In answer to my own article.  The problem did lay in 386MAX.  386Max was
swapping the VGA ROM.  In 386MAX.PRO I commented out the line pertaining to
swapping the VGA ROM and It works fine.

Sorry to waste more bandwidth on this but I am sure someone out there might
want a solution to this given that MS7.0 requires 386MAX for DOS development,
and offers a dual monitor debugging feature with codeview.
