What are the available text modes for the 8514A video adapters? Is
it the same as a VGA? Or does it have more modes?

Or does it have more modes? I think that it's the same as VGA; in fact, I think what happens is that if you do full-screen OS/2 (or DOS) it is the VGA board that is driving the screen, and the 8514/A is just passing the information through. That's what I remember reading, anyway.

In the windowed command prompts even mode 80,100 works. Ralph Yozzo (yozzo@ibm.com)
