I have both portables with lcd displays and machines with composite monitors hanging off cga adapters. In a attempt to simplify use for 'casual' users, I'm trying some stuff to improve their limited operations. I'm using ms-dos 3.3 dated 7/27/87, reading the manual rather carefully, it looks like use of display.sys will provide some support for what I'm trying to do easily. Anyway, I can't get display.sys to install in the config.sys without getting a invalid syntax on display.sys code page driver error message at boot. I'm experimentating with empty config & autoexec files, and followed everything I can garner out of the manuals, but can't overcome the error device=display.sys con:=cga or any combo of other legal params including or excluding options doesn't seem to make any difference. Anybody that is using the display.sys with cga or cga class hardware that could give me a clue would be greatly appreciated. Send or post of a working config.sys & autoexec.bat may be the easiest. Also please date the command.com too in case it's a minor version difference.... Thanks... al -- Al.
