I am trying to get a standard 8-bit vga card to work in my 286 vlsi 
machine.  The card does work (or let's assume this for now).  I can get
it to work but no software will put an image on the monochrome vga screen
in vga mode!  I did use the setup program for the computer and the 
vgaplus.exe program to switch modes etc.  No dipswitch on the 286 board,
just a jumper to select mono or color; I have the jumper set to color
...should I try mono???  I can use the vgaplus.exe program to switch to
other modes, and software all works fine in cga mode, but I want to use
the vga resolution.  YES, the software I'm trying to use does support 
vga resolution.  Can anybody please steer me in the right direction 
anyway???   Drowning in vga hell here...  Randy Padawer
