- The problem is most likely that the vga board that you have is 16-bit,
- and the memory address that the wd8013 is at is in the same 128K range
- as the 16-bit vga memory. The MMU on the [34]86 believes that the memory
- mapped RAM from the wd8013 is 16-bit accessible. I've had this problem
- here at work.
-
- The kludge solution is to put your vga card in a 8-bit slot.
