I believe the SpeedStar uses a chip by S3 (similar to the S3 chip in the
Diamond Stealth).  S3 has a library of graphic routines you can buy that
supports all of the modes of all of its chips.  I have an old version
of the library for the 86C911 in the Stealth.  I'm waiting for the new
version that supports all the chips. 

I'll lookup the phone#/address for S3 if you'd like.
