-: There is Int10/AH=1 for changing the cursor scan-lines.
-: CL/CH=cursor start/end scan lines. But this only makes an horizontal

This topic has some things in common with the recent thread "Re: Mouse
cursor in text-mode".  Here, however, it seems that the task should be
much simpler.  All we want to do is provide a tiny 1-char bitmap that
is used to draw the text-mode cursor---there is no mouse cursor position
to manage.  In fact, it might be sufficient if you could just tell the
BIOS to use one of the upper 128 PC chars as a cursor.
