The idea is to get access to a "real" text- > mode console on VGA cards in the end. Let me know when you manage that on NOVA Mach64 (ISA). AFAIK nobody achieved that so far. BTW, even though I have 6 VGA consoles on my linux PC I never switch to them - the GNOME terminal is much more friendly (on-line resizing, easy copy&paste to other windows, no problems with UTF character sets etc.) > A framebuffer device would be handy! :-) it really doesn't sound like a TosWin replacement if it could use framebuffer :-) Petr
