[snip code]
I also tried in Win98SE, with the same effect (ie. red, not purple).
Using mode 0x13 does change color, but that's not what you want. The
video function to change the DAC also does not work (0x1010). Would
it be possible to use color 13, which is purple (technically magenta)
by default?
