Will the original 6 MHz IBM AT support VGA cards without bios changes?
We were trying to get a Video 7 VGA-16 card to work with such a com-
uter, and could not get the comuputer to recognize it as a color card,
no matter how we configured any settings (including the mono-color 
display switch in the AT, dip settings on the  Video 7, or variations
in the Setup configuration of the AT). It worked once when we moved it
to an 8-bit slot but then mysteriously went back to mono. It will 
display, but in monochrome only. Any help would be appreciated. If you
have responded to a similar posting by me yesterday already, no need to
respond to this one. But we urgently need some advice on this problem.
Thanks in advance.
