Instead of using the G= routine, first locate the card BIOS using the D
function. You will almost invariably find ASCII text that will identify
code found as the card's. Check C800:0, CA00:0, and so on in 200:0 steps
on through Dn00:0. When you find some likely code use the L function to
see if there is a JMP around xx00:5. If so, then try the G= bit. Saves
a lot of rebooting! Remember, not all HDC BIOSes have such a jump start.
