Would appreciate assistence of net members with VGA /IBM AT problem.
Original IBM AT (DOS 3.1) worked fine with original Hercules Graphics
board. Recently inherited Video 7 VGA 16 and Zenith flat screen
monitor, which recently worked fine in a Dell 80386 computer. When
place card in original 6 MHz IBM AT and run IBM's setup, VGA only
[H.

only shows blueish monochrome on black, no colors. Have tested both
positions of the video adapter switch (forward and backward) and in
setup have called the monitor a color monitor. What's the matter?
The setup program is the original one which only has CGA and
monochrome options. Computer also has Intel Aboveboard with 1 meg
a 20 mb HD, and a parallel/serial card and HD/FD controller 
(original, don't know maker). Any help would be appreciated.

You may E-Mail responses unless mail bounces. Thanks in advance.
