  To paraphrase Michael Abrash, "The 64k EGA is about as widely used as the 
PC's tape port." The number of <256K EGA boards installed are insignifigant 
enough that you have no need to worry. There very few pieces of EGA 
software around that do support them (I guess that in itself in a reaon to 
write on for 64k, eh?)...
