Do you have a VGA card by Video Seven; preferably a 1024x768 VRAM type?

If so, did you have to fiddle with dip switches to get Open Desktop or
Xenix to install?

Open Desktop refuses to boot (I have 2 separate copies of the N1 boot disk)
and I may have narrowed it down to my VGA card settings.  To jog your
memory, here are the four options I have:

Switch 4:  FastWrite [enable/disable]
Switch 5:  CGA/Hercules emulation [enable/disable]
Switch 6:  ROM access [16 bit/8 bit]
Switch 7:  Memory access [16 bit/8 bit]
Switch 8:  VGA mode [standard/VRAM extensions]

Thanks for any enlightenment you might offer!
