   I am trying to put a Paradise VGA Plus card with my AT Bridgeboard and am
testing it with a 1950 monitor.  It seems to always come up in mono
regardless of the EEPROM or jumper settings. I have tried all the various
combinations of video modes ON/OFF in PCPrefs to no avail; always the same
result.  It comes up mono.

   The second problem I have is that the 1950 doesn't seem to sync to the
card.  It looks like I am getting 3 screens on the monitor as if the 
vertical hold was gone.

   The VGA Plus is one of the cards listed in the 2088/2286 manual as
being tested by Commodore.  I have done this installation in another
machine and the only differences were that his machine was using one
monitor and a switchbox for both sides (Amiga and BB), and he was using
a different monitor (I don't remember which monitor he had).  His would
come up in mono then, if you rebooted the PC side, would come up in
color.  I can't get it to come up in color, can't get the EEPROMs to
hold a change in video mode with the card installed and can't get the
1950 to sync to the card.

   Is the 1950 monitor the problem?  I don't have a different monitor
handy that I can test with.
