C.1 IBM Computers with Two Display Cards

If your computer has both a color and monochrome display, you may need to turn on the color card. Because your computer will only display on one monitor at a time, you need to ensure that the color display is on when using the Projection Panel.

You can do this in a variety of ways. Some computers require special commands other than

MS-DOS®commands. The best reference for finding these commands is your computer manual.

See Section C.2 for instructions on how to setup a color or monochrome display.

For most IBM and IBM compatibles:

1.Follow the instructions for setting up the Projection Panel.

2.Insert your MS-DOS disk in drive A. (Skip this step if you have a hard drive.)

3.When the DOS prompt appears, type MODE CO80

(CO for color, the number 80 for 80 columns).

4.The color card should be activated.

If you have a monochrome monitor and want to switch back, at the DOS prompt, type:

MODE MONO

The Projection Panel will go off and your monochrome monitor will come on.
