I think I can reduce my earlier question about the font modes to this one:

What BIOS calls do you need to make so that a VGA or SVGA card will respond
like an EGA?  I know that VGA etc. can simulate the EGA cards, which would
be perfect?

Also:  How do I detect if a card is already in EGA mode?  I assume that if
       I send the "go to EGA mode" command to an EGA card something bad will
       happen...
