I just got one of these, but don't have any documentation for it.
Can anybody point me to a source for the switch and jumper docs,
plus info on any non-standard BIOS video modes and functions?

The relevant info from the card is:

	Televideo TVGA P/N 133610-00 REV E
	Trident TVGA 8800 chip
	BIOS 180083-00B

Upon booting, the card displays something along the lines of "Trident
256K VGA BIOS Rev. B".

Additional identifying features:

	There are 6 switches in a single dipswitch package, accessable
		from the back of the case, and
	2 3-pin jumper blocks (is that the word?) that look like

		J4  J3
		1+-++-+
		 |.||.|
		 |.||.|
		 |.||.|
		3+-++-+
		       J1

It's working right now (I'm typing on it), but I'd like to know what it
can *do*! Thanks for any help.

Don.
