Years ago I ran a megapel in a PC-AT (10MHz) using cga emulation mode; I suspect
that we had to mess with the dip switches to put the adapter at a usable address
range.  Its do-able, but the end result is cga emulation, which isn't really that
special, nor that all fast .. i eventually yanked it.
If you all still want to try cga mode, i'll try and dredge up the dip switch 
documentation later today..
