	Greetings.

	As this is more hardware then software oriented, I tried sci.
	electronics first - no replies.

	Anyways, I need to know EVERYTHING about the 26-pin edge
	connector on some of the higher performance VGA cards.
	I would really like a pinout with timing info as well as
	pointers to references on the subject.

	Does anyone know if that connector is under any standard?
	
	Why? I want to know if I can access the video memory faster
	than using the AT buss. (perhaps even be able to use DMA and
	write data through the 26-pin connector while the buss is
	doing something else).

	I seem to remember a few ads for cards (graphics processors) that
	used that connector.

	Please use e-mail. I will archive what I receive.

	Take care.
