I have just aquired a 486 motherboard from Technology Power
Enterprise. It is fast, but I got some trouble when using
Video7 V-RAM. It won't go in color mode just monochrome vga.
The weird thing is, that games writing (I assume) directly 
to video memory put out colors, but as soon as bios calls 
are made (again, I assume) it is back to the gray world.

Motherboard has AMI 486-bios dated 9th 0f April 90. 
V-RAM has bios version dated 88 & 89 (tried two different boards)

I have contacted the manufacturer of MB and Video7, and manufacturer
told me to get a new bios from Video7. This makes me believe that 
the problem is known and corrected. I haven't got a answer from Video7
yet (well, it's been only one day), so I thought if someone of you 
netters have had the same problem.

Thanks for any info,
