Re: Video Card For xi 8088

Doug,

Long pause on 11 is good. It means that the system BIOS found the
Video BIOS and initializes it. Yet I am not sure why you're not
getting any display. If possible can you test the card in some another
ISA system (even if it is a newer 16-bit ISA/AT one.

Thanks,
Sergey
