Use this command:
SET TERMINAL VIDEO-WRITING {DIRECT, BIOS}
Whether screen updates during emulation should be performed by going DIRECT
to the video adapter, or should proceed through the system's video BIOS.
DIRECT is faster. Use BIOS if you you have trouble with DIRECT or you have
a BIOS-level speech device, etc. Applies to text mode only.
