This is damn unfortunate.  Standard VGA has what, 256K of video RAM, but
there's no way to access beyond the first 64K in Chain4 mode?!  That
really sucks.  I found (in the Ferraro book) a way to do it with the
ET4000, and I'm sure it's possible with all the other major SVGA chipsets,
but I want to be sure my program works on *all* VGA cards.

In light of all this, I'd like to use Mode Y.  Could someone please repost
the SetMode code for Mode Y?  Thanks in advance.
