I know that there have been messages from time to time about various VGA cards that people have used with their BB's. I can't find them in my ever-efficient pile of files on disk. What boards have people had problems with and what boards have worked ok? Thanks, Mike

Mike, I have an 8-bit Paradise VGA board that works fine. My 16-bit ATI Wonder board did not work in the configurations I tried it in. IT MAY work, but others have said no. Lee

Thanks for the info. I seem to recall that the ATI card would work in either 8 or 16 bit slots (in other systems) and would configure itself automatically. Is this supposed to be correct and did you try this ? Mike

Mike, Yes, it will work in both 8 and 16-bit slots, and configures automatically. I have it in an 8-bit in my XT, and it performs great. It also came with a mouse, which was very welcome. Lee
