I've inherited a Trident 16-bit VGA board (looks like TVD-16???) with 512K capability. It has 1989 on it. I do NOT have a utilities disk for it. Is there anyone that can help me out here? Also, I need some documentation... like switch settings, etc. Many thanks, as always! Mark C. "Bro!" Lowe - KB5III

Hi, I,m using a Trident board with 512k.You are probably using an analog moniter,if so then set all the dipswitches on the back of the board to on.If you use the board in an 8 bit slot then switch dipswitch no 6 off.Jumper J1 should be in the default position(covering contacts 2 and 3).Jumper J2 should be set to contacts 2 and 3 for autobus sizing and to contacts 1 and 2 for an 8 bit bios interface.With these settings you should have no problems using the board,but you'll need to get hold of the correct drivers for the software you want to run.If you need any more help just let me know. bye. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Bell uunet!van_bc!rsoft!mindlink!a1076 Benndorf-Verster a1076@mindlink.uucp Vancouver Canada voice 604-853-5870 -------------------------------------------------------------------
