Speaking of nice vs. less complete VESA BIOS ROM's, I've known Intel 
for not having a full set of VESA modes since their first integrated 
graphics adaptors (not sure if 810/815, but 845 and afterwards 
certainly) - namely, 16-color indexed VESA graphics modes were 
missing (anything with 4 bits per pixel), which prevented some old 
and odd CAD apps from working... and I recall some apps resulting in 
a white screen even in modes that theoretically should've worked...

And, Windows 98 have specific severe quirks which cause them a 
problem to install and run on 512+ MB of RAM. My friend Rayer has 
described many details on his website, only the page is in Czech:

Try google translator if interested :-)
