I have been running a 286 clone, with a Talltree JRAM-3AT card (extra 2 megabytes of RAM), and a monochrome monitor since 1987. Having a friend who is putting together a low end pc, and Windows 3.0 made me decide the time was right to upgrade to a color VGA system. I bought an Everex VGA monitor and a MaxLogic VGA card. The first problem is the MaxLogic card failed with an with the JRAM. Borrowing a Paradise VGA card confirmed that the monitor works fine, though the JRAM had to be removed. 1. Do people have suggestions for a VGA card? 2. Can the JRAM live in a VGA world? 3. If not, what is a cheap way to use the 2 meg of drams on the JRAM for extended memory and also replace the JRAM's serial port? Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. -Bruce Bruce Cohen | UUCP: ..ucbvax!ucsfcgl!bic Computer Graphics Lab, S-926 | INTERNET: bic@cgl.ucsf.edu University of California | BITNET: bic@ucsfcgl San Francisco, CA 94143-0446 | VOICE: (415) 476-8291
