uh let's add Trident, Sis, Matrox (nice boards), Genoa, Paradise, Chips 
and Technologies, Tseng, Cirrus, Via, S3, 3dfx, Oak, Number nine (nice 
tech), Hercules (I can't believe I had one, high res, no colors)...

I even didn't have to check my "Programming guide to the EGA and VGA 
Cards" to name them but I'm sure I'm missing some.
