I've run Norton's Utilities Advanced on several machines, and normally it
knows if a VGA, or EGA, or CGA is the video board. I have a Paradise VGA
Professional board with 512K ram in an AMI Mark II motherboard
(25 mhz,w/cache) and Norton's SI indicates the video system is "Enhanced
Graphics" with 256K. [During this summer, putting the same video board in
a 386SX motherboard, had Norton's SI correctly indicating it was a VGA
board and not an A]. Here's my question:
When I first set up the AMI, I used an EGA board (also by Paradise), and
then switch to the VGA board. I have since then, run the built in setup
program (in the AMI BIOS) several times, but Norton's SI still indicated it
only sees an EGA board with 256K. I might mention that the VGA works as it
should, and the advanced modes with 256 colors (such as for viewing .GIF
files) works as a proper VGA board should. Would disconnecting the CMOS
backup battery help? Have other people found this with AMI motherboards
with Paradise VGA Pro video?
Thanks for any email or responses.
