Thanks for the info.
The 80 column card I have is in the slot nearest the the video output. A
cable is plugged into the video connector, runs back inside the case into
the 80-col card, where another video cable runs to the outside again.

Typing PR#3 got me into 80 column mode, but the screen slowly rolls up the
screen (40 cols is OK)
