Can anyone recommend a book that explains the registers in VGA cards, and how to set cards in various graphic modes. I do not care if the book has information on graphics programming or not, I am just looking for a good VGA hardware reference. Thanks for your help. -- Terry Hull Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Kansas State University Work: terry@eecea.eece.ksu.edu, rutgers!ksuvax1!eecea!terry Play: rutgers!ksuvax1!eecea!tah386!terry

"Programmer's Guide to the EGA and VGA Cards", by Richard F. Ferraro, Addison-Wesley 1988, $26.95, ought to fill the bill very well (maybe more than you want--it's 600 pages long). I hope that helps. -- --Irv +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | uucp: {backbone}!rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!irv | | arpa: irv@aramis.rutgers.edu phone: (201)932-2002 | | mail: Irving N.
