-
- I found that, when I booted a DOS diskette from drive "A", "SVGA OFF"
- told me that "A:\OS2\SVGADATA.PMI" wasn't found, while "SVGA ON" told
- me "Unknown adapter/chipset".
-
- My solution was to dual boot DOS from drive "C" to run "SVGA ON". You
- could try creating an "OS2" directory on drive "A" to see if "SVGA ON"
- will create the file on drive "A", so you can copy it to drive "C".
