Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Use 8514 and VGA Displays (/8) (CVW Only)

If your system is an IBM PS/2, it can be configured with an 8514
display as the primary display and a VGA as the secondary display.
To use this configuration, specify the /8 (8514) option on the CVW
command line.
If your VGA monitor is monochrome, you must also use the /B (black
and white) option. The 8514 serves as the Windows screen and the
VGA as the debugging screen.
By default, the debugging screen operates in 50-line mode in this
configuration. If you specify the /8 option, you can optionally
specify the /25 or /43 option for 25- or 43-line mode on the
debugging screen.
