What's the simplest SuperVGA card with 800x600 with 8-bit color (DAC)? I now have the VGA almost fully running, but I want to extend it to higher resolutions (at least 800x600x8). Is there any simple extension of VGA registers that supports 8-bit 800x600 resolution with enough VRAM? So it contains only VGA I/O, but with extra registers for handling higher resolutions and banking (for more VRAM, using unused Graphics/CRTC/Sequencer register addresses for the extra registers)?
I've so far found the Paradise PVGA1A, which is a simple SVGA with up to 640x480x8 or 800x600x4. It only uses a few extra registers on top of normal VGA operations as far as I can see.
