SUMMARY
=======

If you run Microsoft MS-DOS version 5.0 Shell with a Renaissance GRX Legacy II
EGA board, you should not use 43-line mode. Because of a problem in the BIOS of
this EGA board, running Shell in 43-line mode will fail, causing the screen to
go completely blank.

Additional query words: renaissance 5.00 5.00a dosshell
