I have a binary copy of the video BIOS that Win98SE saved to my C:\ directory (VIDEOROM.BIN). I scanned it for text, and these were the human-comprehensible strings i found:

-----
IBM VGA Compatible BIOS.
PCIR

Note the curious reference to Luke S. and "the force". Does the spirit of ol' Ben permeate Intel? (They failed to capitalize the name though!)

Anyway, if it's of any interest to you, i can forward the binary file.
