            AST 3G/PLUS AND BASIC BORDER COLORS


Customers have reported not being able to change the border
colors with the AST-3G/PLUS while using BASICA or GWBASIC.
This problem was corrected with the AST-3G BIOS REV.C (Part
#107000-391).

Note:  The first switch setting of (SW1) shown in the User's
       Manual provides higher resolution but does not
       support border colors.

Below is a chart showing all possibe combinations of the
switches on AST-3G PLUS that will make the borders change
colors.
