It would be a big pain, but I will do it later if I can't get it working
with Rollin's help. The system in question is in the Pasadena area, and I
am usually going from OC TO Pasadena on Mondays.

I think part of the problem is the SIS chipset (5595/530), combined with
my lack of knowledge as to the video mode that Warp uses during the
character mode of the boot process. All I get on my monitor (Nokia 447Xi
Plus) is a Self Test message to the effect that it is receiving an invalid
video signal, 27.7 KHz horizontal & 62 Hz vertical. I get the same message
if I open an OS/2 full screen session. A DOS full screen session works OK.
I am using the IBM GRADD 0.80 drivers at 1280x1024, 75 Hz, 16 bit color
for the desktop. I don't know what happens during the character mode boot
process and during full screen OS/2 sessions.

I am working toward using the SDD video driver, but it's not yet ready for
prime time, at least on my machine!
