[comp.windows.ms] Amstrad 2086 Screen Drivers Anyone?

H.C.Davis@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Hugh Davis) (10/02/90)

The Amstrad 2000 series built in VGA is supposed to be 100% VGA
compatible (based on Paradise board I am told?).  However Windows seems
convinced that the screen is *mono*!  Attempts to fool it by forcing it
to accept the VGA colour driver cause it to crash.  

Does anyone know of a VGA driver that works in colour on this machine?

One idea was to use the VGA driver  that Amstrad supplied with the
Windows 2 distribution disks, but it seems that they "built it in" in
some way, so there is no separately identifiable VGA.DRV on the disks
as far as I can see.
