Hello.

Does anyone have source code on how to set the vga card
into the extended text modes of 80x50, without using ansi.sys?

I know that this can be done because telix does it.  What
I need to do is change the display to 80x50 text without using
ansi.sys and mode.  Assembly source code would be greatly appreciated.

I will post a followup with any source code that is sent.

Bryan.
