Absolutely. I realise this has nothing to do with the OS, but I thought
you folks would be able to answer my questions since they are hardware
related.

You could well be right. But I can't even get the system to enter it's
BIOS setup program, so I have no way to change this setting even if
that's the problem. Another -hardware list member suggested that the
BIOS setup program may use a VGA font, and that might prevent the setup
program being used on EGA hardware.
What would happen if I booted the machine with no drives? i.e. With
nothing but a keyboard and video card/monitor? Would the machine enter
its BIOS setup program OK? These questions may be BIOS specific so my
BIOS is a AMIBIOS 1992 Version 1.00.03.BS0T
Thanks for your help
