I got a Diamond SpeedSTAR card with 1 Mb. The card works fine, but no reference was supplied for programming the extended modes. The card uses the Tseng ET4000. Can anyone point me to a programmer's reference for this chip? Hal -- Hal McMillan | "It's an ideal principle, which can be verified mcmillan@cis.ohio-state.edu | only under ideal conditions.

Ferraro (make sure you get the second edition, the first doesn't contain any information on the SVGA modes custom to many of the VGA chipsets). Published by Addison- Wesley. It covers not only the Tseng 4000 (and 3000), but also the ATI, C & T, Genoa, Paradise, Trident, and Video7 chips (you can also get programming information for each of these chips from their respective manufacturers, but they charge as much as US$50 for this information, and the book is only US$29.95). Maybe this should go in the FAQ list? marcos -- Marcos H. Woehrmann {claris|apple}!netcom!marcos | marcos@netcom.COM Oh, I'm sure you've heard it all before, but remember it's not what you say, it's how you say it, and how much you're paid to do so, and besides who's listening anyway. No one, that's who, because it's all been said and done and done and done and done to death. Let's talk about art, said the fool to the idiot. --Lydia Lunch
