- Hi everybody!
-
- I'm looking for a way to trick a *standard* VGA-card into a graphic reso-
- lution of 640x400x256.
- As a standard VGA has at least 256K memory and 640x400 pixels at 8 bit
- color resolution use 256000 bytes, this should be possible (using 4 bit
- planes as in normal EGA/VGA-modes); as far as I heard by now, the VGA's
- clocking scheme doesn't allow it, but I hope you prove that wrong and
- come up with an ingenious solution! :-)
- Please answer by mail, if it works, I'll summarize.
-
- TNXIA,
- Kai
