The VGA will swap pages when the EGA will, that is in modes 0 through 3,
7, 0d, 0e, 0f, and 010h.

According to the IBM Personal System/2 Seminar Proceedings Vol 5 #4, 
page 17 video mode table, mode 012H, the 480x640 16 color mode, has
only 1 video page. Thus page swapping won't work. This source makes no
reference to extensibility other than the very expensive one with both
higher resolution an larger color palete.
