I have installed an OAK OTI-037C in my IBM Model 30 and am, quite frankly, struggling. Initially I had the card set with the 8-bit bus enabled, but could not get any post. When set to 16-bit bus enabled, the system posts and monitor (IBM Ps/2 Monochrome) displays normally .. so far so good.
I then set the dip switches to VGA mono (assuming that the off position is the top position) and set the driver to VGA monochrome in Windows 3.0. Windows starts up fine and display is stable. When I shut down Windows, however, the screen goes white and shows no more characters until a reboot. I then tried setting the dip switches to standard VGA and loaded the standard Windows VGA drivers .. bad mistake .. Windows just hangs on the start-up screen.
Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong? Any advice welcome
