Lee – No, I'm not running an EMS manager — actually, I haven't figured out how to make use of my 2meg yet. Yes, the Wyse has a mono card, and I did pull it and replace it with the VGA board. I guess I'll have to go over to…
Lee – Okay, there's got to be an answer somewhere. Here's the info about my system (it is a real funny one): IBM clone 386 20mHz; 140 mB HD running under VFeature, Phoenix BIOS (don't know the version number), Perstor 200 Series Advanced RLL Controller, and currently a Wyse 700…
