   Tom, WTtF? Shadowing the VGA BIOS? I am kontuzed.   
      
   NamedItem Prompt  "MGA on-board VGA"   
      
   choice  " VGA Enabled "        pos[1]=XXXX0XXXb mem 0c0000h-0c7fffh   
   choice  " VGA Disabled "       pos[1]=XXXX1XXXb   
      
   Help   
      
   "Select 'VGA Enabled' if you want a single screen solution.   
   This setting enables the VGA bios at C0000h (on the MGA adapter)."   
      
   There are two alternatives to using RAMBIOS.SYS. The first method uses   
   your computer system's ability to shadow a VGA BIOS. If your system   
   supports this capability, it is usually accomplished through the   
   system's configuration program. There are certain instances where this   
   method may not work. The second method is to use a memory manager to   
   shadow the BIOS.
