	We just got a VEGA Deluxe (Video 7) EGA board and found that it does
not work with Xenix. Their "tech support" people say confirm this
incompatibility. Anybody have any further suggestions ?

	What irks me is that with the board come is glossy pamphlet proclaiming
how wonderfully compatible the board is with every piece of software:
"We believe in our board. So can you, because now compatibility is guaranteed."
"If, for any reason, it's not (compatible) - we'll make it compatible."
"Nothing beats the VEGA Deluxe for software campatibility except maybe our
	guarantee."

	They also tried to insinuate that Xenix doesn't work with any EGA
boards, which is distinctly untrue.

	In light of their unwillingness to support the VEGA Deluxe with Xenix,
I find this type of hype extremely misleading and also question how truly
compatible the board really is with other software as well.
