Linda, I mentioned in another post about booting from floppy to test
drive configuration.  If you have at least EGA (preferably VGA) video
on the '89 vintage machine try booting it from the Warp 3 install
floppies.  I had several 85 - 90 motherboards which were quite happy
with Warp 3 despite rumors to the contrary.
