My problem is that the card doesn't seem to want to switch to any SVGA modes
from DOS without first loading the S64DBIOS TSR. Not even the S64DMODE monitor
setup program will work without wasting memory with the TSR. Anyone like to
why?

When I added a SB16MCD card I got intermittant failures from the SB
initialisation under windows .. sounds like the same thing.

I notice that another followup to this has a section to add to SYSTEM.INI to
stop this problem. Does this change imply that the S64D is thinking it is
also a sound card?

I've gone right back to using hand wangled LOADHIGHs etc. Desperate measures!
[Made no difference though :-(]
