3. Highlight the option that matches your display adapter. If you are

not sure which one to choose, follow these guidelines:

l

If you have an EGA or VGA card, select 

Special options.

(If you are using a compatibility mode provided by the video
card, you may need to set the DIP switches on the video card,

which will override the display setting in CMOS RAM.)

l

If you have a color graphics adapter (CGA) attached to an

RGB (color) monitor, select 

Color/graph. 80 col.

l

If you have a monochrome display adapter (MDA), a
monochrome graphics adpater (MGA), or a Hercules® MGA

attached to a monochrome monitor, choose 

Monochrome

8 0   c o l .

l

If you have a composite color monitor, such as a color

television with a video input, try selecting Color/graph 80

col. If the resolution is poor, run Setup again and select

Color/graph. 40 col.

l

If you have any other combination of monitor and video card,

consult the documentation supplied with your video card.

4. Once you have highlighted the monitor type, press 

Enter. You

see your new selection as the display type.

5. Highlight **SAVE SETTINGS ** and press 

Enter.

The Equity 386 can operate at 20 MHz or 8 MHz and you can select

either speed using the switch on the front panel of the computer. (See

“Selecting Execution Speed” in Chapter 4.) You’ll probably use the

faster speed for almost all your operations. Some copy-protected

application programs, however, require the computer to run at 8 MHz
while accessing the program on diskette. These programs also usually
require you 

leave 

diskette that contains the copy

protection-in the diskette drive. If you use a copy-protected program

often, you may want to enable the Auto speed function.
