  I have a VGA card and monitor (not SVGA) and am using it in
  mode 13 hex.  I know that the card has 256K of memory because
  it can run the 640X480X16 mode.  I can right now only use the
  64K from A000:0000 to B000:0000.  Anyone know how I can get
  that other 192K?  I would like to use it for graphic image
  storage.  It seems a shame that all that memory is there,
  presumably unused, and I cannot get to it.  Does anyone have
  any experience using more than 64K in video mode 13h?
  Thanks much!!
