I have a IBM Model 80 with an 8514/a video card and a 8515 monitor.
I use the VGA monitor (8512) for CVW debugging.  When I use Windows
configured for the 8514 (in 386 Enhanced, Standard, or Real modes), any DOS
VGA application I run (either during Windows or after exiting Windows)
has the colors screwed up.  It seems like colors are missing -- hi-intensity
colors (hi-intensity white becoming purple is the most noticeable).  If I do
a warm boot and run the DOS apps before running Windows, this doesn't happen.

Has anyone else had a problem like this with this hardware?  Microsoft is 
unable to duplicate the problem, yet it happens on both Model 80s I have access
to.

Thanks for any help.
