Ditch your fancy new SVGA cards, install an old MDA card, and 
       mov ax,b800h
       mov ds,ax
       mov ax,'eH'
       mov [0],ax
       mov ax,'ll'
       mov [2],ax
        ...

OK, I'm a bit rusty, but you get the idea.

IIRC, the segment base for MDA is 0xb000, not 0xb800 (CGA), but, as
with you, it's been a while.
