To use RAMBIOS, change to the UTILITY sub-directory (type CD
UTILITY [ENTER]), and type RAMBIOS [ENTER]. The screen will
momentarily go blank, and then a message will appear which identifies
the version. After the program is run, it will return you to the DOS
prompt. This effect is similar in appearance to re-booting or resetting
your system, BUT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. Any other TSR
programs, such as ramdrives, will still be functional.
ETM.COM
ETM stands for Extended Text Mode utility. This program allows you
to change the display mode of the Basic VGA. It will change to these
options:
BVGA EXTENDED TEXT MODE UTILITY -
ETM.EXE - Version 1.00
Options:
132x25 132x28 132x43
80x50 80x28 40x50
80x25 40x25
? (displays the option list)
In some cases, older software may be able to address a high resolution
text mode screen. For example, WordPerfect 4.1 can be configured to
use a 132 column screen via setup parameters. To do this, from the
\UTILITY subdirectory, type:
ETM 132x25 [ENTER]
(this changes the display mode)
WP /S [ENTER]
(enter wp in setup mode)
