Now the trick is to figure out why I have no display :-)
All I want for now is a vga-compatible thing, very limited in scope.
Ron, I bet you need to initialize the hardware with a call to the video bios, so the card knows to display what is on B800. I don't know exactly what happens, but I know that in the display functions I wrote for you we display by writing straight to B800. I think the video bios resides somewhere between A000 and C800 (but not in the areas it uses for scratch space, like B800-C000 for color displays or B000-B800 (I think) for monochrome -- there may be more). Could you step through until it does that call?
getting ready to gunzip linux and jump to it.
Also, why doesn't it gunzip linux and jump to it? - James
