- My father recently replaced his VGA with a Boca Super VGA board, based on the
- ET4000. He's tried with 2.0 GA, SP, and the 2.1 beta, and in all three, at any
- resolution, when he brings up a fullscreen DOS session (including a fullscreen
- Windows session), the monitor loses sync; an Alt-Home, followed by the Enter
- key, brings up *two* reduced size WPS images side-by-side, apparently split by
- scan line. The only way out of this situation is to reboot. The board has 1
- meg of RAM. The system is my old Mylex 386SX-16, with 8 meg or main memory and
- a Phoenix 386 BIOS PLUS v1.10. His old board, an ET3000, had this problem
- before the Service Pack in VGA mode. Any ideas?
