I'm very excited not only did my 5154 show up today, but also my two IBM EGA cards. Interesting thing though, that while my cards did not have documentation, I found the dip switch settings for them to enable EGA (off-on-on-off) and it works. It didn't when I first hooked it up, and since it was sold as-is with no returns, I was sweating bullets for a few minutes. I have a few questions...
It only comes up in 40 column display mode. Now I could have sworn there was a way to tell the BIOS EGA 80 columns? I do have the AT Diagnostics Disk and it is the later version (I think). How do I tell the system 80 columns?
The 5154 is dim, not bright white like I remember other 5154's in the past. Is it the tube that is going on this thing or something else?
Thanks,
Dan
