They cover EGA,CGA,MDA,Compaq and Hercules(mono). What I need is information on how to find out if a VGA (or a PGA) adaptor is installed. Also - can someone tell me how to obtain the current cursor position directly from these adaptors. That is - I need the location of the 6845 registers. The reason I can not use the INT10 function provided is that my program has to work with some TSR programs that access the hardware directly.
