Well I am pleased to say that the great people in the forums here have got me going with my 386 BB … THANKS! Er but now I seem to have another problem, I have installed a 1mb SVGA (Trident 8900C) card but cannot seem to get it going. I have a switch box set up to switch from the flicker fixer output to the SVGA card output. But there is nothing on the SVGA output to view. I have changed setup to give me EGA/VGA. If I try to change the PC prefs so that both emulations are off the BB bleeps madly at me!…and wont start up, if I leave the cga emulation on, that is exactly what I get but still nothing from the SVGA. But on running Syschk its says the its using Trident BIOS in CGA mode!!. HELP! Sorry for all the questions, but this PC thing is a whole new adventure and I dont understand the manuals when I read em :-(. I did manage to get the 1.44 floppy working!! and it formats too ;-), so I must be learning. Paul Lakey (UK) Enjoying AutoPilot!
