Running VGA Test under DOS

VGA Test file error.txt
Test 13: Hardware: General Registers
Mode 00h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=00h
Mode 01h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=80h
Mode 02h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=00h
Mode 03h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=00h
Mode 04h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=80h
Mode 05h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=00h

Mode 12h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=00h
Mode 13h, General -- Input Status 0: IBM=70h Current=00h
Expected vertical retrace 35-40 times in 1/2 sec; got 210.
Expected vertical interrupt 35-40 times in 1/2 sec; got 0.
Test 14: Hardware: DAC Registers
DAC Status Register reported wrong status after a read.
There were 2 tests that had errors.

Program: vgatest2

I tried this because printmaster wasn't able to run under DOS (VPC2007)
but was okay under DOSBox 0.72

Do I still have a chance to run it? printmaster appears skewed upon
startup....
Thanks in advance
Jack

If PrintMaster uses VESA you may want to try Univbe and see if that
fixes it.


If DOSBox fits your needs I'd just use that.

Thanks
