Thanks for all responses in my inquiry about VGA books. I have received ~ 12
responses. It seems that:
Programmer's Guide to the EGA and VGA Cards', second edition,
by Richard Ferraro, published by Addison-Wesley.
is the champion in this category. I have bought the book and I'm very pleased
with it.
Thanks again

But don't forget that this bug has a LOT of HORRIBLE bugs that make some examples and chapters about special chipsets almost useless. If you tend to go deeper into programming a special chipset, there is no way around getting the hardware doc from the manufactorer directly. List of the most bad typos/bugs: PVGA1A/WD90Cxx: Banking described two times. One time the meaning of PRA & PRB was exchanged and DEAD WRONG. TVGA8900: Banking in the 64k mode completely wrong. - Thomas -- _______________________________________________________________________________ E-Mail (domain): roell@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.de UUCP (if above fails): roell@tumult.{uucp | informatik.tu-muenchen.de} famous last words: "diskspace - the final frontier..."
