Archiving some code I wrote in 1987 in Assembly language and transferred to my company in 1993. Super Fast graphics drivers for the EGA/VGA/Tseng/SVGA/MCGA and Tandy (TGA) graphics cards. Back in the day, you had to write multiple graphics drivers depending on the video card. Somewhere in here is a 32kb Windows System that include the graphics bitmaps. Wrote it to prove that Windows Systems didn't need that much memory (256KB+) for Microsoft Windows at the time

Back in the day you can use int 10h to switch between text mode and graphic mode. To lit up a pixel, just write to 0xb800 segment. The good old days 🙂

Awesome 👏 what a Nostalgia 😭
