Hi,

I am running a Paradise Autoswitch EGA 480 Card with Windows-3.0 in
my AT-386. Currently I have configurated the Standard EGA Mode
(Mode 10h, 640 rows and 350 lines, 16 colors, video page at A0000).

Now my question. What should I do, if I want to run the enhanced EGA Mode
(Mode 50h, 640 rows and 480 lines, 16 colors, video page at A0000)?

The difference between both Modes are the "Mode Code" (10h <-> 50h)
and the numbers of available lines (350 <-> 480).

Is it possible to take a copy of the standard EGA driver and patch it?
Is it a silly idea? :-)

Waldemar
