	I've got a Micronics 386/16, CGA, 4M EMS. ROM is Phoenix 1.10 B2
	I've installed win3 straight from the floppies onto a raw dos
	system booted from the dos diskettes. NOTHING in the way,
	NOTHING non-standard. no autoexec.bat, no config.sys, nada.
	And, I renamed win.ini.
	Real & standard mode run fine, in enhanced mode I get

	System Display Type Mismatch

	when trying to shell out to dos, or any non-windows app.
	A further symptom is that progman reports memory correctly in real
	and standard modes, but is off by some random amount in enhanced mode.
	The only thing I can possibly think of, is that I've got 
	shadow ram enabled on the MB. But, I tried setting himem to leave
	the shadow area alone, and it don't help. Can you?
	BTW, My usual environment is full of hacks, share-ware, 3rd party
	drivers, and unusual appurtenances. Never even a cough.
	I also run SV/386 without a hitch. it's a slug, but it goes.

	It's desperation time here campers! gimme a clue. please.
