Do you still write to 0x0A000, just for a greater total of bytes than the 320x200 64000? Or do you have to do all those weird bank switching thingies and stuff? I know that in 16 bit you have to write more than one byte to set a pixel? Can you still address the video ram as one big array like in good old 320x200x256? Any links on this subject? Please reply by email if at all possible. FanX!!!! -- Spawned By Rylan Is truth beauty or beauty truth? http://home.intekom.com/rylan/index.html
