Summary:

When using the Boca Multi-EGA video card with Multiplan version 4.20, a customer reports that the menu command line and the selected cell flash repeatedly.

The Boca Research Technical Support Group offers the following suggestions to configure this video card most efficiently. Make sure the following conditions are met:

  The card is using ROM release 1.1, Type 4. This version was released in 1989 and as of August 1990, it is still the most current release. New releases are identified by the Type value.   Set autoswitching (DIP switch 4) to off.   The Multi-EGA card has four DIP switches, which should be set as follows: DIP Switch What It Affects Setting ———- ————— ——- 4          Autoswitching               Off 3          Primary/secondary display   On   2           Monitor type                On   1           Monitor type                Off 

Boca Research Technical Support can be reached by calling (407) 997-6227.

Microsoft has not tested with this configuration, and therefore, cannot guarantee proper results.
