	Three books that I refer to for programming info about the VGA's
	hardware and BIOS are:


	EGA/VGA: A Programmer's Guide by Bradley Dyck Kliewer.  McGraw-Hill
	1988

	Programmer's Guide to the EGA/VGA by George Scutty and Steven
	Blair.  Brady Books, 1988. (Includes a disk)

	Programmer's Guide to the EGA and VGA Cards by Richard F. Ferraro.
	Addison-Wesley Pub., 1988.


	Also, you can call up your VGA card's manufacturer and buy the
	data book/tech notes on the VGA chip set they use.  Orchid uses
	the Tseng Labs chip set and sells the data book for $15 (ET3000-AX/BX).
	Video Seven also sells a data book for their cards which costs $25.
