The problem is is that 0xb800 is not a selector for the area of memory
you're trying to access. DJGPP provides a selector (called _dos_ds) you can
use for this purpose. You must also convert the segment:offset pair into a
linear address using the formula segment * 16 + offset.Your function call to
movedata should look more like this:

movedata(source_selector, tempd, _dos_ds, 0xb800 * 16 + x, len);

You can replace 0xb800 * 16 with 0xb8000 if you wish.

Hope this helps.
