Most of the code your need is located in the x86emu-XX
files on the ftp.scitechsoft.com server. x86emu has
all of the VBIOS support for calling the INT
functions. You would just need to hook it up so that
the fb drivers can call it.
But wouldn't the time be better spent on getting the
info out of the board manufacturers that would allow
protected mode versions of these routines to be
implemented? With that info we could eliminate the
need for this VM86 stuff forever.
