CGA Documentation

Post by GipGip »

Since the only post I could find on this forum even related to the subject was posted in 2003 (and said that everything related to the subject is propriatary) I would like to know if anyone knows of any CGA documentation. I need to reset the screen to 80x25 but I would like to do so without going back and forth between safe and protected mode. I am using the Turbo C Compiler and Bochs to test it.

The chip you'll find is a VGA (or more likely, a VGA clone - even in Bochs), and not a CGA.
