and then use or to highlight the option that matches
your display adapter type. If you are not sure which one
to choose, follow these guidelines:

installed a VGA, EGA, or MCGA card, select EGA,
MCGA,VGA or other.
If you have a color graphics adapter (CGA) or a
multi-mode graphics adapter (MGA) attached to an
RGB (color) monitor, select CGA 80 column. (Also set
the color/mono switch on the MGA card to color.)
If you have a composite color monitor, such as a
color television with a video input, try selecting
CGA 80 column. If the resulting resolution is poor,
run Setup again and select CGA 40 column.
If you have a monochrome display adapter (MDA), an
MGA, or a Hercules MGA attached to a monochrome
monitor, choose Monochrome 80 column. (Also set
the color/mono switch on the MGA card to mono.)
If you have any other combination of monitor and
display adapter card, select EGA, MCGA, VGA o r
other.
In addition, consult the documentation
supplied with your display adapter card.
Note
If you have two different display adapters, select the
setting for the one you want to be your primary display
adapter. The other one is your secondary adapter. A
message appears at power-on telling you whether you
are currently using your primary or secondary adapter.
