A good, fairly easy reading book is:

"Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2 Video Systems"
Richard Wilton
Microsoft Press

A somewhat more difficult, but more detailed book is:

EGA/VGA  A Programmer's Reference Guide
Bradley Dyck Kliewer
McGraw-Hill

The first is in a tutorial type format, good for reading and learning. The
second is a reference, good for the details but I find it hard to learn
from. Best save it for after you have the basics well in hand (or mind).

If you have specific questions, feel free to mail them to the address below.
I'll get you answers as I have free time. Just don't load the conference
with direct questions unless you want to ask everybody.
