Still not working.  Nobody out there has a CGA + DTK AT motherboard + Qpro?
Amazing.

When I read your article, I gave it a shot.  No different.

Hmm.  What bios is the clone 386?  We tried the program on a couple of
other systems to see if it would work, and of course it does.  So there's
something about the CGA or motherboard (esp bios).  However, the CGA and
bios are compatible with everything else I've seen.  I'd just like to figure
out if the bios is the problem or the cga card.  (I supect the PROGRAM
is the problem, but that's something else again.)

Aha!  Confirmed video problems.  Makes me wonder what strange things they're
trying to do with video.  I noticed the mouse-left-behind a couple times
(before it would hang that is).  Well, at least it does act up on someone
else's system.

So anyone got a cga+dtk who's tried it?
