[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] CompuAdd "Paradise compatible" VGA card

skrbec@motcid.UUCP (Brad Skrbec) (10/25/90)

I recently purchased a 16 bit Paradise compatible VGA card
from CompuAdd.

There is a utility program called "16test" on the distribution
software, which tests to see if your card is working in 8-bit
or 16-bit mode.

When I run the program, it tells me that I'm running in 8-bit
mode, and that I should set my switches to force the card
into 16-bit mode, if I am, in fact, using a 16-bit slot.
I did so, to no avail.

I'm running this in a Zenith 248(?) AT compatible.  The card
is in a 16-bit slot, but the test still shows that the card
is running 8-bit mode.  Any ideas?  I'd like to use the advantage
of 16-bit graphics speed.  That's what I bought the card for.

Thanks.
