[net.micro.pc] garbled screen with Autocad on PC'S Limited 286 machine

ross@isis.UUCP (Ross McConnell) (08/04/86)

 I have a PC's Limited 286 machine, running at 6 or 8 megahertz. It's
hooked up to a Universal Graphics II card and a "FlatScreen" B&W monitor, also
from PC's Limited. When I try to run Autocad, the menu screens are fine but
any displayed images are garbled - complete junk on the screen. The monitor/
graphics card successfully run the "test.exe" program supplied with the
graphics card. The card is in Hercules mode, and Autocad is configured
for a Hercules card. The machine has a 80287 installed. HOWEVER, when I
replace the monitor with an Amdek 310A, all is fine - perfect images.
   What gives ? Any help would be appreciated. Tech support at PC's
limited is trying to feed me a line that " maybe the FlatScreen monitor
isn't designed to run Autocad, or else it's a bug in Autocad ". This
sounds fishy to me.....
