I have the forboding task of write an EGA driver for a non-DOS
machine.  What I require is an EGA programmers manual for the
bitplanes and config ports, etc.  NOTE:  Details of the INT() calls
does me no good--non-DOS == no INT() calls.  If anyone has the
kind of nuts and bolts I require please reply via mail.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

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.
