As you all know, PS/2's come with 8-Bit VGA on the motherboard. I was wondering whether this is disabled when you add an enhanced graphics card. One of the expansion slots is designed for such cards - what is the difference? What happens if I install the card in a different slot? I know of only three such cards on the market today: IBM's 8514/A, the NEC Graphic Engine, and the RasterOps ColorBoard 1024MC (brand new, and goes for $4395 -- ouch!!!). Supposedly, the Hecules Graphics Station will be available for MicroChannel machines next year. The reason why I'm asking is this because I want to upgrade my 8-bit VGA to 16-bit. I certainly hope this is possible. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Time Traveler All the world's indeed a stage And we are merely players timur@seas.gwu.edu Performers and portrayers HE891C@GWUVM.GWU.EDU Each another's audience Outside the gilded cage - Rush
