- I have an IBM PC and Zenith FTM 1490 monitor. I have
- been using an IBM vga adapter card which now gives me one
- long beep and 3 shorts when I boot up.
-
- I have tried replacing the bad adapter card with other
- vga cards and not all of them work. For example, an ATI VGA
- basic 16 just gives me static on the screen and never gets to
- the DOS prompt. However, a Paradise VGA PLUS card works fine.
-
- I'a appreciate any help on why I can't use just any
- VGA card, the ATI card is a lot cheaper than the Paradise and
- I don't want to put any more money in the system than I have
- to.
