Unsupported Adapters

Some notable adapters which aren't supported in this version:

XGA
IBM's XGA graphics standard had not been announced at the time of development of the Turbo Pascal dialogue library. It is not known whether a .BGI file exists to support it; however, EGAVGA.BGI may be adequate for EGA/VGA emulation on it.

Hercules monochrome adapter
PCVideo attempts to permit this adapter to be used if Graph detects it, but it has never been tested.

8514
It is not possible to distinguish IBM's 8514 graphics board from other adapters by automatic means alone. This is probably of minor consequence since the XGA standard is intended to supplant the 8514.
