Can you override the video on a Magnavox 286 motherboard by plugging a VGA card
in one of the expansion slots?  Does the system recognize the plug-in board as
the video card it's supposed to use?  The video is acting goofy.  I swapped
monitors and that's not the problem.  Looks like the video card.  I understand
that Magnavox video is on the motherboard so I want to fix the video problem by
using a VGA card in one of the expansion slots.  Can it be done?

Thanks,
