Last week I posted to this newsgroup regarding a bit of help with
direct EGA graphics programming - ie non-BIOS application writing, and
although I received a lot of help both in the form of actual programs
and book recommendations, one problem still remains:

What graphics modes can I program the EGA to support directly - and,
more importantly, How?

All the advice given still relied on the BIOS interrupt 0x10 to set
modes, and talked about modes 4,7,14 etc.. but no-one could tell me
how to do all this by programming directly the EGA itself..

I suppose the best bet would be a disassembled BIOS - so I could see
what it actually does when int 0x10 is called.. Anyone know where I
can get one for my Phoenix EGA ??

It would be much appreciated if EMAIL could be sent as I don't
normally get this group!!

Thanks again to those who helped before, and to those who will
(hopefully??) offer help this time!..

Zak (Simon) Roberts..
