Crashes on startup - IBM 5162 (286) #7

I have an IBM 5162 with DOS 6.22 and an ATI All in wonder EGA+ card. 3com 3c509. The binary crashes on run, doesn't switch to graphics mode, just hangs. Any clues? Would love to check this out!

jhhoward commented 2 years ago

Are you using prebuilt binaries or building from source?

Some things you can try:

Run with the -c command line option to use 640x200 CGA mode
Trying running without the packet driver loaded (in case the packet driver is the problem)

If it is running properly in CGA mode, you can also try the -e command line option to manually set EGA 640x350, in case it is incorrectly identifying your card as a VGA compatible.

Thanks, I think it was identifying the card incorrectly. I have an ATI EGA Wonder 800+ for your information. Starting with either -e or -c works just fine, thank you for your help!
