If you don't know how to dump it, please contact me so i can give you
a tool that will do it for you.

Was there ever an off-board IBM VGA ... only VGA ... I can't remember ....?
But we've got plenty of working machines with onboard IBM VGAs.

You will find dumps of the two known variants of the IBM SVGA/A
Cirrus-based microchannel SVGA card here:
Being 8-bit only, its not the fastest VGA around, but they work.

There was an early IBM VGA ISA-bus adapter, IIRC. For "upgrading" all those
"obsolete" CGA/EGA XTs and ATs. There's probably an ISA-bus XGA/XGA-2
somewhere. Whether the BIOS is quite the same (XGA uses specific areas of
the BIOS Extended Data Area) I dunno, since I'm not into ISA-bus systems.
Who has a Model 35 or 40?

Speaking of which, I'm looking for an IBM 8-bit VGA card for an XT.
Anyone got one they want to sell or trade?

I think he meant the original VGA offered by IBM for the ISA bus - the
full-length, 'half height' card with the metal-canned VGA chip. I have
already contacted this guy since I have such a card hanging here on the
wall as decoration - next to the genuie IBM EGA with the RAM
daughterboard.
Best regards

Yes was looking for the bios of one of those, thanks very much for
sending, now let's hope it somewhat works :)
Sjoerd
Doesn't really matter i think, both would use the same bios i think.
But i recall having seen a actual isa vga card sometime in the past.

Yep, he probably did, but I thought this one might be of interest too.
I've already got a couple of 8-bit VGA cards, including a very nice Video-7
card. However, I'm looking for a genuine IBM 8-bit VGA card to go in an
all-IBM XT.
Did IBM also make a 16-bit ISA VGA card? If so, I'd like one of those for
my XT-286.
