DAMNIT! I wish I could go back in time to 1978 and show microsoft how to write
a good unified driver and GFX library architecture so that all programs would
be written to use a single portable interface so we could have 32 peer
interrupt channels (no cascading) and a full 16 DMAs. =((((((((((((((

Just for fun: rewrite your autoexec.bat to read: 

" Mem /c > prn "

turn your printer on, yank out your video card and then boot... You get like
900k of somewhat usable DOS memory! =) 
I have proof that this works, it is hanging on my wall! =)
