- If anyone is interested, I was able to get it to work under the Olivetti and
- EGA mono video modes. I just doesn't seem to like the VGA mono mode. This
- seems somewhat odd, as during the Windows Setup program, it starts Windows,
- and it runs just fine in the VGA mode. But then when I try to run Windows
- by itself, it just shows a messed up title screen and then hangs up (when
- I install it in the VGA mono mode). Has anybody else gotten it to work in
- VGA mode? Also, under windows, the keyboard mapping seems a little screwy.
- For me, the key with the backslash and vertical bar no longer registered
- anything, and these characters registered on the key that has the tilde and
- backward single quote. It acted the same for thecouple keyboard configurations
- that I tried. Does anybody know what type of keyboard AT-Speed emulates?
- Anyway, Windows 3.1 does work under AT-Speed, and it even seems to run at a
- pretty usable speed. Ciao.
