Ferguson) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: problems with 80-column mode on a 128 Message-ID: <1991Apr25.035454.9595@gn.ecn.purdue.edu> Date: 25 Apr 91 03:54:54 GMT Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network Lines: 18 A couple of weeks ago, I finally got the 64k video memory expansion kit from SSI for my old c128. The first time I tried to install it, I guess I didn't get it pushed in all the way, and I had no 80-columns. I was very surprised, and was afraid I had blown up my video chip. But finally, on the third attempt, I I got it to work. Now, unfortunately, after the computer has been on for about 10 minutes, the entire 80-column screen goes blank. Usually, I can get the screen back for a little while, but then eventually the screen will become completly garbled and full of noise. This is very annoying, and I would like to know why my computer does that, and what I can do to make it stop doing that. I hope I didn't blow my video chip, those are kinda expensive to replace.
