- This one should go in the FAQ (is there any?).
-
- Just put the cards in the slots and attach monitors to them.
- The SVGA card will emulate mode 7 (Hercules mode 7) and off you go.
- If you need EGA or VGA you have to remove the CGA-card. Also
- the VGA-card will be in 8-bit mode (slower) because the CGA-card
- is 8-bit as well.
-
- Hope this helps,
