[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] solotile display, mono ega board

kevin@neptune.AMD.COM (Kevin Tomasek) (08/10/89)

Has anyone out there in netland had problems with solotile when using
a mono, or color, ega board.  The board is a clone board in a clone pc.
The system locks up when the game is begun, no mouse appears.  

I also have a clone mono graphics, ie hercules graphics clone, that I
tried as well.  Again, no go, this time the mouse did appear and would 
move but with no effect.

If anyone has experienced this problem and fixed it let me know...

THX  kevin

I have found the same problem::the program will lock up the computer
totally...that is ctrl/alt/dlt won't even soft-boot!  Maybe because I'm using
a ps/2 w/a mono board--I don't know...

Can anyone tell us what the problem is???

SOLITILE *definitely* will not work with a MONOCHROME display interface!  It
was designed to work with EGA/VGA compatable interfaces ONLY.  It should work
with a mono monitor connected to and EGA/VGA adapter board, but a MONO adapter
board WILL NOT work.  Sorry 'bout that.  Time (and technology) marches on :-).
