I think that there are some bugs in the BIOS of this graphics card.
1) There is no cursor in the right column of the screen (press space until
you reach the right border of the screen)
2) If you initialize a graphics mode the screen is not blanked.
3) The scrolling procedure of Int10h doesn't set the directionflag. That
occurs if you for example write a TP programm that changes this flag
( sometimes a Move does this ) and you then call ClrScr. The line at the
bottom of the screen is not blanked.
Any comments? Thanks in advance. Martin.

I'm using the VESA-model 6400-A. I had no problems at all, it works fine & flickerfree, enjoy these cards !

I have used various graphics display programs with it. Each of these programs need to know that they are talking to a Genoa 6400 card, but the ones that support it work fine. I have used VPIC, GWS, VUIMAGE at least on a trial basis. Some of these I ran in BIOS mode and loaded the RAMBIOS. What is this VESA-model 6400-A? Is it a driver? I picked up a file VESA.EXE from the Genoa BBS but there was no documentation telling me what VESA is so I don't know how to use it. Please explain! Dean Lindsay
