SYMPTOMS
========

If you have a Video 7 VRAM II with a BIOS revision of 8.05 and you are
using a 256-color driver, characters in a full screen MS-DOS-based
application will appear large and blocky; parts of the screen may be
unreadable. 

CAUSE
=====

This problem is caused by the BIOS revision; it was not designed to
provide 256-color support. 

RESOLUTION
==========

To avoid this problem, obtain either a new BIOS or video adapter.
