SYMPTOMS
After upgrading to MS-DOS on a Leading Edge Model M 8088 or a Sperry HT
8088 computer, executing QBASIC or EDIT may produce unusual video display
behavior (for example, horizontal scrolling or blinking) or unusual system
behavior (for example, lock-ups).
CAUSE
The Leading Edge Model M and Sperry HT are 8088 machines. They originally
shipped with a color video controller that does not conform to any standard
supported by MS-DOS 5.0 and later (that is, monochrome, CGA, EGA, EGA mono,
VGA, or 8514).
The products included here, Leading Edge Model M and Sperry HT, are
manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty,
implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
