I also have a Genoa 6400 with a 3.02 (I think, its at home,
I'm at work) BIOS.  I have used various graphics display
programs with it.  Each of these programs need to know 
that they are talking to a Genoa 6400 card, but the ones
that support it work fine.  I have used VPIC, GWS, VUIMAGE 
at least on a trial basis.  Some of these I ran in BIOS
mode and loaded the RAMBIOS.  

What is this VESA-model 6400-A?  Is it a driver?  I picked
up a file VESA.EXE from the Genoa BBS but there was no 
documentation telling me what VESA is so I don't know how
to use it.  Please explain!
