Can anyone tell me how to use the 256 color mode
with the VGA board? Hacking around, it appears that
it may be mode 19. Is that right? How do I initialize
the color look-up table, or otherwise select which 256
colors I want to display in this mode?
Has there been anything published on this yet?
Is the technical reference manual available?

I am not sure how "available" it is but it does exist. I've looked at it briefly and there seems to be a few inconsistencies in the way they've described things. For example, in one place they describe mode 13h as "bit-plane" and in another place they describe it as pixel-packed "memory-mapped"...sigh... ---Lee, taran@rocky.stanford.edu [long live the Amiga!]

Technical Reference manuals for any of the PS/2 (or PC) can be ordered from IBM. Phone number is 1-800-IBM-PCTB. They take VISA, MasterCard adn AmEx. The part number for the Model's 50 and 60 is 68X2224, for the 80 it's 68X2256. A mere $125 each. I assume noone is interested in the 30 :-). Jerry Whitnell Communication Solutions, Inc.
