I can answer only a few of your questions, but here goes.

The Graphics Development Toolkit is a device independent,
metacode styled virtual device emulation package which
may be very handy if you develop applications that don't
know a priori what sort of device it will run on.  It includes
drivers for most IBM video output devices, and some IBM
printers and plotters.  The only language bindings I know
of for it are: MASM, the BASIC compiler, the PASCAL compiler,
Professional FORTRAN, and FORTRAN v2.00.  I note no PGA
drivers, though these will undoubtedly be forthcoming, nor
is there a C binding.

I have an 80287 in my AT.  It cost $300+, but is available.

Good Luck,
Ken Lonquest
