[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Plus Hardcard XL and SVGA problems

rem@buitc.bu.edu (Robert Mee) (04/23/91)

I recently installed a Plus hardcard XL on my system 
and I was having trouble getting it to install because of
some bios conflict between it and my current VGA card
(Oak Technologies VGA-1600). The immediate solution
that Plus provided was to move the VGA card from it's
16 bit slot (it's a 16 bit card) to an 8-bit slot. My
question is does anyone have the Plus card and a 16bit
SVGA (at least 800x600) that runs in 16 bit mode? Plus 
has apparently taken the stance of 'not' endorsing any
card that works with their card so they wouldn't tell
me which manufacturer is compatible. The reason I want
16 bit mode is I'm looking for faster screen updates
which windows 3.0 really looks choppy in 8 bit mode. 


Thanks for any information,
Rob
