   I checked the XGAPNI.DGS file and it is from 27/08/1993, I could not see   
   XGAANI.DGS on the refdisk   
      
   I tryied a couple of things, I used the REFSTAMP program on a dos bootdisk,   
   and copied some   
   files from a test program onto it, and ran some tests. You can clearly see the   
   artifacts.   
   I have taken some photos when i ran the test progam, they are in the SLC3   
   folder.   
      
   When I used a second program to test the graphics, the computer locked up and   
   rebooted....!!   
      
   Have also tried to use an XGA-2 in the MCA slot, and then i ran the test one   
   more time, and here   
   the computer did not lockup and reboot. So there must be something wrong with   
   the onboard XGA-2   
   is it possible to use REFSTAMP on the C-drive, then perhaps the machine could   
   be forced to boot....?? -   
   just an idea.....
