I agree that it would be nice if nansi.sys had an option to avoid CGA snow.
But (I hope this doesn't cause flames), I really feel that anyone that
lowers the capabilities of their software to accommodate the CGA should do
so ONLY AS AN OPTION.  That board's been out for 5 years now.  It is time to
move on.  Given how many are out there, an OPTIONAL way to support them
would be nice, though.
