- What you need to do is get a monochrome video adapter. I have done this
- to my computer at work with an old Hercules Adapter, and a Video-7 Vga.
-
- Since you already have the VGA Card in the Machine, Stick a monochrome card
- in there also. I don't know if the Mono VGA Monitor will work, becuase it
- is probably not Pin compatible with the Monochrome Video Card. But if
- you get a Regular old Hercules type monitor, use that.
-
- Then Make sure you are not using the Address Space B000-B7FF for mapping
- extra memory.
- If you are you can no longer do this.
- Then reboot your machine. At the DOS prompt type
- C:\>MODE MONO
- you should see the Prompt switch over to your Mono Monitor. To get
- it to switch Back to the VGA Type
- C:\>MODE CO80
-
- If it doesn't work then something is not right. But if it does work
- thats basically all you need to do. To Start Turbo Debugger and let it
- know about the mono monitor you need to include the -dO switch.
-
- C:\Borlandc\Bin\TDW.EXE -dO MyProgram.Exe.
-
- I'm not sure if it is a big "O" or a little "o" tho'. No Need to change
- anything with windows. Good Luck!
