I recently purchased an EVEREX Viewpoint VGA card, and I have some questions
I hope someone can answer (hopefully someone who has the card). The card is
advertised as being downward compatible with all the various previous
standards including Hercules (which is what I had before I got the EVEREX card).
However, when I try and use Ventura Publisher with the Everex card (VP is
configured with the Hercules driver) the video doesn't work. I can move the
mouse around by 'feel' and get the pull down menus to work, but the screen
retains the image it had when I ran Ventura (DOS command line etc.). If
anyone has any idea what the problem is please let me know. Any general
information about the card would be appreciated ( if its junk I can still send t
it back). Oh by the way, it is populated with 512 kb and has bios 1.05.
Thanks ahead of time,
Mark Frey
