I've tried running solitile on my 286/EGA clone but it doesn't work.  When
I first run the program the background changes to blue (I think) and the
display scrolls up one line; pressing a key causes the background to change
color once more and locks the keyboard, forcing me to reboot the system.
The only previous incompatibility with EGA software was with EGADEMO; it
was resolved by running SETMODE NOEMULATE (disables CGA emulation).
Setmode was provided as a utility by the (truly generic) card manufacturer.
Except for the above, this system has run all other EGA software thrown at it:
Flight Simulator (fs e), Egaroids, Borland Turbo*, Quattro,... (aaalife) ;-)

If you have any suggestions please drop me a line.
Many thanks.
