Hi Kali;
Do you perchance have a Toucan card ? It seems to be described above.
I have a friend with one of those with the manual and drivers.
He complains it is nasty to set up - but if that's what you have,
I'll try to set one up here. <G>
If you don't have that one, please give me all the info you can to
identify manufacturer and model and I will see what can be done about
getting it working with Arachne. The important thing is to get the
card to report itself as EGA to the system so Arachne recognizes it.
The ATI card doesn't have any switches - it sets up with software.
Possibly some of the others do the same. (Optionally)
