It appears that their is a difference with the new cards ability to display things and by altering the monitor definition file it now displays OK in Mode13. Starfighter now display OK and though I had to alter Twinworld to use 320X480@75hz to work Ok as the automode selection still causes a problem. I have a HannG model supplied by Castle so I wonder if the they have updated their MDF's to take into account FX5200 card differences?
