I have a question that I think might be related to this...
I am trying to do some things with the BIOS and XBIOS using an assembler.
Specifically, I am trying to monkey around with the screen resolution and
physical/logical screen addressing.
As far as I can tell, I am doing nothing wrong - yet the program results
in a double bomb and hangs the system. I have GEMDOS in ROM --- could the
above explanation be the culprit? (I'll try booting with GEMDOS in RAM
and see if I get the same error.) If this is the culprit, it bites the
big one...anyone know any way around it?
