I have no manual for this (used) Acer Pentium 120. The Acer web site does not appear to have schematics or other MB information (that I could find). And looking at the MB I see nothing that leads me (a non-tech) to think there's a VGA/MGA selector. Anything particular writing or abbreviations I might look for? (Good thought.)
