Not really; It seemed to me to be pointless to run the card
in VGA emulation (vice native) but then I got stuck on the 
base address problem.  One should, howver, be able to get 1024x768x8
on the card (or whatever fits in exactly 1Mb) by frobbing regs; after 
that it seems you have to go native since you can't map more than 1Mb 
of the framebuffer into the vga aperture; not enough bits in the page reg.

I hope to steal my MGA back soon; I want to get a bit furthur than
I did last time I plinked around with it.  The docs are a tome
but pretty complete at least.
