Hi Petr!

My boot config:

xboot0
tkromdrv (display mode: serialized, NOVA interface, optional: videl blanker)
emulator
menu
std_vdi 2.66
xboot
nvdi
...
mintnp

With MENU.PRG you can select your resolution.
 
> 3) how to get NVDI working together with NOVA?

Delete or rename the *.sys files in the NVDI folder. This will automatically
disable the internal VDI from NVDI. And (!!!) use the assign.sys from the
NOVA disk.

There are a cpx available.

There are a tool on the NOVA disk.

This resolution ist to low. You must use at least 640x400.
