OK, this may be a near impossible task, but if possible, I would
like to write my own driver for MS Windows 3.0 so I can put my ATI
Graphics Solution card into its non-standard 640x200 16 color mode.
I have spoken to ATI and they said they do not have such a driver
available (though drivers for Lotus 1-2-3, and a couple of other
programs come on a disk with the card).  I have written a couple
of programs in C which properly set the mode, write a pixel of a
certain color to an x,y coordinate, read a pixel value from an x,y,
coordinate, and return to text mode.  I have a little 8086 Assembler
experience, too.

Where do I start?  I would like any pointers to the information I'll need,
exapmle code of other drivers, etc.  I'm really at a loss as to where I should
start.  I know there are other Graphics Solution cards out there, and I'll
gladly share the driver with the world when it's written

Thanks for any help in advance,
