Thanks, this could get me the location of the font-buffer and should be
implemented in the next version. Now I save the whole screen, and print it
back after the vga is finished (not very efficient, but it works).
Today I made a succuessful run with my fdc/dma driver -> and it WORKED
*yeah* the fdc-driver reads from the floppy drive, and prints the content
on the screen. I think it will be finished this weekend.
The dma driver is a bit tricky, it can only address 16MB. I thought I
could make a (reserved) buffer below 16MB and copy the buffer to the
appropriate java_byte_array -> jm, is it possible to reserve memory?
For the dma/fdc I had to make several builtins. I think JNI would be a
better method. Is it dicfficult to implement the Java Native Interface?
