[comp.graphics] Info on graphic ic from Tseng Labs ?

d4umf@dtek.chalmers.se (03/11/90)

	Hello everyone!

I have in my posession a Super VGA card by Genoa called Genoa 5400.
On that card there is an ic called ET3000AX 11038F-0005 from Tseng
Laboratories. I have tried to get more info regarding this ic without
success for about a year now. So now I turn to you people on the net
for help. It must be someone out there who has info on this ic, what
registers there are, and what the pinout is. Since no VGA card is
perfect when it comes to emulate EGA and CGA I want to rewrite the
software in the BIOS on the card. But withour knowledge of the
interior of this ic it's hard. Thanks in advance for all replies.

	Sincerely
	Martin Forsberg

There is a programmers manual for the Tseng Labs chip.  It may be obtained by
calling Orchid Technology, talking to tech support, and asking for the 
programmers reference for the Prodesigner VGA board.  That's what I did, and
recieved a technical reference on the Tseng chip.  Orchid tech support can be
reached at 415-683-0323.  They were charging $15 for the manual when I bought
mine 4 months ago.

As for contacting Tseng Labs directly, I have no idea.  The manual I have 
has no address or phone number for them.
