hello all,

i am pulling my hair out over this...

i am writing in assembly (MASM) and my problem is this:

i want to set the vga palette (in a 256 color mode)
but i want to do it manually rather than using
int 10...i have ferraros's book on ega/vga,but
there are no examples that do this (they all use
int 10)...if anyone could send me a snipet of code
or tell me where i can better info, i might just
decide to hold off on buying that GUN!

by the way, the reason i do not want to use the
int 10 is that it is too slow...i have found on 
some cards, that this slowness has the effect of
a colorful snow at the top of the screen during
rapid palette changes...

please email me THANKS!
