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. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
