How much RAM ?
you can simply calculate the requirements:
640x480 hicolor (16 bits) = 640 * 480 * 2 (2 bytes ==16 bits) /1024 = 600 KB
1024*768*2/1024=937.5
So you need a card with at least 1 MB of ram for both resolutions.
If you have only 512 KB than you could use 500 * 600 * 1 /1024=469 KB (256
colors)
PS: You could also try to use the generic VESA driver.
PPS: Glenn: cdrom is _no_ valid dos device driver in command.com.
These are comX, lptX, nul, lpt, con
