Hmm.  As far as I know, for the 320x200x256 mode, you can only get
the one page.  You might wanna check out the series of columns in
Dr. Dobbs Journal by Michael Abrash over the past, oh, 8 months
or so.  He worked for a while with a "special" mode, supposedly
requiring only VGA, which is 360x240x256 and is, according to
him, ideal for animation, supporting multiple pages among other
features.  Come to think of it, I think the series about that
mode ran from about May to August of '91.
