- YADA. No, I'm not calling a bad name in Eskimo. If you type Y A D A
- at the main menu of the BIOS setup on a lot of Vectras, you will get to
- a screen that will let you get rid of this piece of mem.

- B000-B7FF is the mono text area. A brain dead (but sometimes used) way
- for a program to detect if the machine ti is running on is color or
- mono is to just write something to B000 and see if it works. If it
- does, you must be a mono system. Needless to say, if there is a program
- loaded at B000...it's history.
