[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] 286 Accelerator

burkett@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Edward W Burkett) (06/10/89)

I was wondering if someone out there might know how to activate a 286
accelerator card from Mega Omega called -- The Companion Card.

This card is installed in a Zenith 158 that we picked up as a used package
deal from a non-retail scource and there was no manual to be found. 

We think the card includes 2 meg of extended memory (1 meg one the card,
1 meg piggy backed).  I have checked the included harddisk and autoexec.bat
for associated utilities but can find none.

I have never used an accelerator card before and can not find anybody who has.
Since the card was installed in the machine I am assuming that the company that
was using it had it up and running (that company has bit the dust and cannot
be found --- bankrupcy :-) ).

Are these cards activated with a hot key?
Do they require software?
Anyone ever hear of this company?

Any help getting this card up and running would be appreciated.

Thanks.
