- I've just picked up the GUS unofficial programming info, but I wanted to
- ask whether the GUS has any nice features that would make programming easier
- in 386 mode, under OS/2 or NT etc.
-
- For example, I imagine the GUS card's 1 meg has some kind of bank switching
- kludge to make it useable in 8086 real mode, so you can address the GUS's
- memory within 1 meg. BUt this is bogus on a 386, because it would be alot
- easier to remap the GUS's memory into a contiguous 1 meg address space.
-
- Anyway, that's the gist of my questions: anything 386 specific?
-
- thanks
