  IBM has now unbundled its EGA documentation from the expen$ive Options &
Adapters Manual.  It will set you back the princley sum of $15.00 or
thereabouts.  ($9.95 for the manual + $5.00 shipping + whatever salestax applies
in your area).  Call (800) 426-7282 and ask for the "Enhanced Graphics Adapter"
manual (# 6280131).
  This is not the most readible manual ever produced, but it should be a great
improvement over trying to decipher disassembled object code.
