I recently posted a message requesting info on the IBM enhanced graphics
adapter and display. Among the few respondents were a couple of requests
to post anything of interest that I found out, so here it is.
The cheapest and (so far) most informative source that I have found is
the April issue of PC Tech Journal. They have a fairly extensive covering
of the EGA (addresses, assembly interface) and the monitor.
The two other sources which I have not seen are the updates to the IBM
Options and Adapters Reference Manual (I've heard prices for the manual
that range between $125 and $175), and the Nov '84 PC Seminar Proceedings
(vol. 2 I believe).
Incidentally, the Tech Journal's review of the EGA is VERY positive, assuming
that one can afford the EGA's (and monitor's) price tag.
