Summary: Is there any programming support?


While shopping for an 80386 clone I noticed some Genoa SuperEGA
video board clones.  These board can display 800x600 (580) pixels
on a multisync monitor.  Unfortunately the limited
documentation didn't indicate how to program the board, nor
how compatible it was to standard EGA or VGA modes.  
If these higher resolution modes can only be used for AutoCad,
Ventura, Windows, GEM and Lotus 123, the extra cost seems
excessive.  Can anyone provide more information on these
higher resolution EGA boards?

Thanks.
