Emulation of IBM 8514/A does not works with DOS applicatios even with the HDPCDOS driver loaded #3952

Description

@Fenix770

What happened?

I installed the DOS device driver on the ATI Mach 8. I also installed the Adapter Interphase to be able to emulate the 8514/A 1024x768x256 video mode. But after the apps attempt to load that video mode the VM freezes.

Beforehand, I don't know if there are different AI drivers for the Mach 8 Ultra and non-Ultra, I think they should be the same because the normal, non accelerated VGA part of the card does support up to 800x600 with 256 colors only.

Here are the screenshots:

Here are the drivers loaded:
ATI Mach 8 AI.

Here is the bug after loading a Majjong version for the 8514/A
ATI Mach 8 crash
This also happens with PC Paintbrush IV when configured for 8514/A 1t 1024x768x256.

Also there is a bug when testing the 8514/A with the setup disk
Mach 8 failure

After this screen the VM frezzes with a red screen.

The Win 3.1 driver seems to works fine however
ATI Mach 8 driver seems to work right on Win 31

The regular VGA part of the card seems to work fine too, on Neopaint
