bu>From: bruno@sdcc10.ucsd.edu (Bruce W. Mohler) bu>Subj: ATI VGA boards compatible with SCO Xenix 286 2.3.2? bu>I'm considering upgrading my AST Premium 286 running Xenix 2.3.2 bu>to VGA colour. Because of price/performance, I'm looking at the bu>ATI boards (ATI Prism (USA) or ATI Wonder (Canada)). However, bu>I've already heard one horror story about an ATI Prism board bu>in a DTK 286 motherboard that did not work with Xenix (I know bu>the guy; he's knowledgeable about PC's so there was some serious bu>or deceptive problem). I'd rather have my ducks lined up before bu>I fire off my credit card at some retailer. bu>I've checked the Release Notes for Xenix 286 2.3.2 (page A-28 bu>in my copy). Neither board is in the list. bu>Can any one from SCO comment on whether Xenix will support bu>either ATI board even though they're not on the published list. bu>Has anyone had experiences of either board working or not bu>working with Xenix 286 2.3.2? (I'll even accept other bu>suggestions for VGA boards that you're happy with!) bu>If I get any e-mail responses, then I'll summarize to this bu>group. When I first bought my system, I had an ATI EGA-Wonder card, and XENIX would only boot if the card were locked into CGA mode. That was version 2.2.3 Mark --- ~ DeLuxe 1.11a18 #3019 ~ QNet 2.04a:NorthAmeriNet: Sound Advice BBS ~ Gladstone ~ MO
