 :Hi Folks,
 :   I upgraded my vga card from Trident 8900C 512K to an Orchid Fahrenheit
 :1280+ and now when I run T7G, I see an inch of the graphic at the top of the
 :monitor at the beginning then locks up. This never happened when using the
 :old Trident. The Fah 1280+ is vesa compatible, I was getting 80% of optimal
 :SVGA during installation. Anyway, I tried d/l'ing orchvesa, rev1, tlivesa
 :from Orchid's BBS and loaded one at a time as TSR. Didn't help. I tried to
 :call their tech support but it's always busy. So if anybody out there who is
 :using this card, can you help me? I finished the game on the Trident but I
 :want to beat the blob puzzle before selling the game.

I am not sure this will help you but for the brief time I played the
game (borrowed a friend's copy) it worked fine on my F1280+ VLB,
Texel DM3024, PAS16, DOS5, Cyrix DLC40 8M. The video wasn't as
smooth as I would have liked but I think this is because the F1280+
is not a great DOS card.
