Netlanders,
I'm looking to upgrade my BIOS so that my computer can support EGA minitors.
I have a Columbia-MPC circa 1984. I also have 640K, Microsoft Mach-20
('286 upgrade), 80287 co-processor and CGA w/color monitor. Would the Phoenix
or Chips & Technologies BIOS chips work for my system? Approximately how much
money would it take to upgrade? Am I out-of-luck? All suggestions are welcomed.

Replies can be posted to the net or to me directly (whatever is best for
you). Thanks in advanced for your help/advice/information.
