I too have seen two references to vga256.bgi drivers....I believe this is
for the reduced resolution mode not 640x480.

256 color on VGA with 640x480 IS possible with 512k video RAM...but not as
can be supported by TC..their drivers are hard coded for the video memory
map allocation for graphics and text.
