I want to play Ski or Die in Tandy mode.
I've put machine=tandy in my dosbox.conf file, but when I start the game in DOSBox 0.71 the screen stays black. And when I run the game in DOSBox debugger 0.70 that I got from this topic, it says in the debugger window:

"BIOS:INT15:Unknown call 7000"

and a lot of

"CPU:Write bb to rom at fca3d"
"CPU:Write 97 to rom at fca3e"
"CPU:Write 74 to rom at fca3f"
etc. before DOSBox shuts down. My stdout.txt then says:

"Exit to error: CPU:GRP5:Illegal Call 7".

EGA and CGA mode do work well in DOSBox.

It does work in DOSBox 0.60 and it also works when I use 0.71 with machine=pcjr. In both cases I get 16 color graphics, but not 3-voice sound.
I know I can start the game with the parameters adlib and mt32 to get better sound, but I kinda like 3-voice sound and there seems to be no parameter to get 3-voice sound.
I get 3-voice sound when I have machine=tandy and start the game with the parameter cga to get CGA 4 color graphics.
