Hello everyone, Can anybody help me out? I'm looking for programming references for the VGA card manufactured by anybody at all (as long as it is IBM compatible). I need to know how to program all the registers, how all the modes use display memory, how to flip pages, etc. I've tried all the resources here at MSU, and all we have about IBM graphics is programming in GWBASIC. Even Dr. Dobbs doesn't have anything in it that is complete enough to use. Thanks in advance, Patrick Draper --- Michigan State University
