fine. I had to buy one PS2 cable and the logic level converter. I already had a Pico, one PS/2 cable and the micro-USB to USB-A adapter. Next to try is a different display adapter. === Bill Gee On 1/25/24 06:40, Bill Gee via Freedos-user wrote: This is probably more of a hardware

AGP display adapter with a DVI port is going to run $30-ish. Just to verify, I connected my cheesy VGA-to-HDMI adapter to the 9020. It displayed nothing until the system went into graphics mode. No POST, no boot sequence, just a black screen. === Bill Gee On 1/26/24 16:01, Louis
