i resently bought a 386-25mhz clone with 32k of cache and the AMI BIOS
plus the INTEL/ZYMOS POACH SET and a hercules card and monochrome monitor.

I tried to upgrade to color so I bought an NEC multisync 3D and a 512K
ATI WONDER CARD w/mouse. The ATI card does not work in a 16 bit slot (this
is after setting all the switches and jumpers). on power up the pc beeps
once and then puts the computer in the AMI diagnostic screen. The keyboard
is lockup at this point so i can not get any further.
 
After experimenting I found that the card works in the 8 bit XT slot.
I really would like to use it in an AT slot.

can any one help with this one.
