The most definitive info is in the PC Options and Adapters manual, which
costs $125.  Fortunately, IBM now sells chapters from the manual separately.
The order number for the EGA manual is 6182676, though my flyer gives no price.

Call 1-800-IBM-PCTB and they'll bill to your credit card and ship it out.
