In the new issue of BYTE (March '88) Genoa advertises an 800 x 600 256 color
VGA board.  The list price is supposed to be less than $600...
My room mate has the Genoa Super EGA Hires Plus and is very satisfied with it.
He does have one beef with Genoa though, Genoa wants $35 for a poorly written
40 page programming manual (It is worth at most $2.50.)  This EGA card has
quite a few of the VGA modes (but not the 256 color one.)

products
