Thanks for the info.

Maybe NT allows some ports to be accessed, or maybe some optional
software package is the one which allows that access?  Does anybody
know?

The reason I'm asking is that the FAQ currently says not to expect
non-standard SVGA modes to work on NT because port access is not
available.  If this information is not true, I would like to get it
straight.  So if somebody knows better, please post here.  Thanks.
