<This is a resubmission of an article I submitted two nights ago wherein I
described problems I was having and asked for help. Now, I've solved them
(all due to a co-processor jumper being wrong), I'm cancelling the first
article and resubmitting this...Sorry for any inconvenience.>
Hello:
We have the oportunity to aquire several 286 (and 386) clones. We appear to
have (from one source) a choice of:
- A Suntac motherboard with their own support chipset and Award BIOS
- A "Neat" motherboard with Chips & Technologies support chips and AMI
(American Megatrends Inc.) BIOS.
Actually, we can have either BIOS (or Phoenix BIOS) in either machine.
I would be interested in opinions/recommendations/warnings/etc. regarding
these two motherboard/chipset's and the 3 BIOS's. Perhaps there are other
combinations that are better?
Finally, we seem to have a choice of VGA cards as well: Renaissance RVGA1,
Tatung/Video7, and Packard Bell/Paradice ... maybe ATI Wondercards as well.
I'm new to VGA (herc was always just fine by me). Would anyone have any
suggestions/recommendations here?
Many thanks as always.
