 i am currently writing a game which uses mode 13h, with no page swapping. instead
i draw into a buffer i ordinary ram , and copy this to the screen. I would like to have
this buffer in the unused part of the videoram, but i cant seem to be able to access it.
is it possible? btw can you write as fast polygonfill routines  in modex , with the 
bitplanes and all ?
any information appreciated.
