I bought a used SCO Xenix OS v2.2.1 with v2.2.3 upgrade K for my 286 home computer. I have a Vega Video Seven VGA card running in EGA mode with a NEC multisync II monitor. When I try to install the OS the very first thing I see on booting is a screen full of garbage. It appears to be the installation menu in alternate characters. The manual says I may have to get a different video card. Is there any way around this? If I use an old CGA card and monitor to install the OS, is there any way to get back to using my EGA monitor after the installation and put the CGA card back in the basement? Any help appreciated.
