- I have a PC with DVGA-T BIOS VERSION 1.0. When it boots up, it displays
-

- 256k RAM VGA MODE
- DVGA-T BIOS VERSION 1.0

- With pre 0.99.2, I could boot from floppy, although when I was asked if
- I wanted to select VGG mode, hitting `return' key always sent Linux in
- one of the vga mode without displaying the choices. But with 0.99.2, when
- I press `return' key at the prompt, the machine reboots itself. I was
- wondering if someone has the same VGA card. BTW, there is no Linux partition
- on that machine. I just use it for testing my bootable rootdisk.

- Thanks.
