But like everyone else, you've missed the point.
The OP was originally
asking about standard IBM cards, not about VESA "standard" cards which are a
different kettly of fish....

Actually, I think *you*'re missing the point of this whole thread, which is the
feasibility of 132 column mode in Dave's VT-100 emulator; FYI I'll quote the OP:
...
"Does anyone know if any of the more modern (ie: VGA) cards support enhanced
132 column text modes? - And is the video addressing basically the same except
for 132 words of memory per line instead of 80? And where to find more information?
If it could be reliably determined that support was there, and it is compatible with
my text windowing code, it would not be difficult to add support for it."
