[alt.msdos.programmer] how do I detect an IBM 8514

dzoey@umd5.umd.edu (Joe Herman) (07/22/89)

Hello, I'm looking for a way to detect if a display
is an IBM 8514.  Right now, BIOS returns the
code for a monochrome VGA, which isn't correct.
If you know of a way to detect it, please send
mail to me or Nick Keller (keller@umd5.umd.edu)

Also, we're looking for a way to put vga's into
43 line mode under DOS 4.0 with ANSI.SYS installed,
but without the /L option.  The method we have
works works under DOS3.X and under DOS 4.0 without
ANSI.SYS and with ANSI.SYS /L.

Any info would be appreciated.

			  Thanks!
