- Roland (45/48) Nov 14 2001 after this reply i was expecting 2 questions:
charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Does all system support the 0C00:0000 location for linear video memory? = In my PC, I could use 000A:0000 location to output VGA colors, I could = also use 0c00:0000 to output colors. the 0c00:0000 works faster so I = just wanted to know weather it is compatible with all PCs. If you more = about this please tell me. Thanks. Bye.

(easy), 2- how can i pass a buffer to a real mode interrupt ? (more complicate) Even if those questions were not asked, i reply, may be they are good candidate for the FAQ. 1- how can i call a real mode interrupt not implemented by DOSX ? call int86_real or int86x_real or define something like this if you want your code to compile on DOSX and large model as well: #if (sizeof(int)==4) #define _CALL_INT(intnum,regsin,regsout) int86_real(intnum,&(regsin),&(regsout)) #define _CALL_INTS(intnum,regsin,regsout,segregs) int86x_real(intnum,&(regsin),&(regsout),&(segregs)) #else #define _CALL_INT(intnum,regsin,regsout) int86(intnum,®sin,®sout) #define _CALL_INTS(intnum,regsin,regsout,segregs) int86x(intnum,&(regsin),&(regsout),&(segregs)) #endif //sizeof(int)==4 2- how can i pass a buffer to a real mode interrupt ? the real mode interrupt expects a real mode pointer (segment:offset) below 1 Mbyte limite. you have to allocate a buffer in real mode memory and pass its real mode addresse to the interrupt. do like this: unsigned short _x386_convmemalloc(unsigned size); //allocate a conventional memory block //return the conventional memory segment, 0 if error //!!! allocate 4 k byte minimum !!! //!!! there is no way to deallocate this memory !!! unsigned short _x386_convmemalloc(const unsigned size) { REGS regs; regs.x.bx = (unsigned short)((size+15)>>4); regs.h.ah = 0x48; int86(0x21,®s,®s); return (regs.x.flags&_cf_) ? 0 //DOS error no is in ax : regs.x.ax; } example: #if (sizeof(int)==4) unsigned convmemseg,dosptr; //real mode segment, pointer void* dosxptr; //dosx pointer #define DGROUP MKFP(getDS(),0) convmemseg = (unsigned)_x386_convmemalloc(size); dosptr = convmemseg<<16; //offset = 0 dosxptr = (void*)(-_x386_get_abs_address(DGROUP)+(convmemseg<<4)); #endif //sizeof(int)==4 (hope no syntax error) Ciao RolandDoes all system support the 0C00:0000 location for linear video memory?
