A friend in California has an AST Premium 286, running 2.3.  She has
the EGA card that NEC sells, along with a NEC MultiSync.  She hasn't
had any problems yet.  Have you tried running the system at a slower
speed?  Perhaps the IBM card isn't up to the full (10/12 Mhz) clock
rate of the AST.  Heh heh heh.  Sorry, your problem isn't funny, but
IBM's are!
