There is one book that tells all for the VGA, EGA, CGA, and various Hercules
cards:
	Programmers Guide to PC & PC/2 Video Systems
	Richard Wilton
	Microsoft Press

I don't care for the format of the book (it discusses all cards in parallel),
but I sure like the contents  -- it has saved me more times than you can
imagine.
