You mean actual physical books? Just documenting the spec or demonstrating use or example programs or ... ? I could be wrong, but I assume you mean the DOS-oriented uses (which these days are considered obsolete in lieu of whatever graphical APIs "modern" OSes use). I think, at best, "VESA" is nowadays only considered a weak fallback for those OSes without hardware-accelerated graphical drivers. So I dunno what you think you're going to accomplish. (I'm not trying to discourage you, but it's become painfully obvious that most people aren't sympathetic to such old legacy anymore.) You could read the Wikipedia article (and its links): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions There were also text files of the older specs on x2ftp (mirror): 1). http://ftp.lanet.lv/ftp/mirror/x2ftp/msdos/programming/specs/vesasp12.zip 2). http://ftp.lanet.lv/ftp/mirror/x2ftp/msdos/programming/specs/vbe20.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
