Thank you.  You are correct.  I am able to boot up the AST at 6 or 8 MHz and
the EGA works just fine, but booting at 10 MHz, causes problems.
I can switch to 10 after UNIX comes up.  I appreciate the information
and take back what I said about it not working.  All EGA's are not created
equal I guess.
