The Appian Renegade 1280 adapters are among the few that actually require you to read the manual to install them. The back plate of each Renegade 1280 card has two connectors, labeled "VGA" and "IGC." Connecting the monitor to the VGA connector allows the machine to boot and run in VGA mode, but the monitor goes totally black when you start Windows. To use both DOS and Windows, you must connect the monitor to the IGC connector instead (the manual sheds no light on the meaning of IGC). Once you're able to get the board up and running, however, we find the IGC connector to be of great value (see Honorable Mentions).
