[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Options for a 286

myhre@plains.NoDak.edu (Rezh - An Ancient One) (03/24/91)

  I have a 286 and there are a couple of options that I am unfamiliar with
when running set-up.  I would appreciate any help that you can give.

I am running AMI bios and there are three options that I need help with:

1)  Video Bios Shadow: Enable or Disable.  I am running Paradise EGA mono
    card if this info is needed.  Could someone let me know what this is?

2)  Scratch Ram Option:  If required, BIOS will use 256 bytes of RAM
    1)  Using BIOS stack area at 0030:0000
    2)  Reducing base memory size by 1KB
    Which option should I use.  I am running with 2 megs of 80ns SIPPs

3)  Main Bios Shadow:  Enable or Disable
    Again, any help would be appreciate.

Thanks
