I am new to the XENIX world and am still trying to get it installed
on my 286 at home. The problem is when I boot off of floppy and start
the installation procedure according to the instruction book, XENIX
changes my video mode, starts beeping and then locks up. Any idea what
might be causing this?
Thanks, Brady...

Is it a multiple mode card? JB -- Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc. (201) 245-5922 500 Oakwood Ave. jbayer@ispi.COM Roselle Park, NJ 07204

Works only with the card configured to act as a low resolution card.
