- You didn't mention the memory address setting of the card, nor what type
- of graphics card you have.
-
- I've never used TN3270, but the Crynwr packet drivers (except for the
- very latest) require the shared memory to be enabled - maybe TN3270 also
- requires this.

- Next, 16-bit VGA cards give the 3C503 card hell. You either have to set
- the VGA's jumper that forces it to 8-bit operating mode or put it in an
- 8-bit slot.
