  1. Cool, so. It turns out YOU can create your own copy of the BIOS ROM for the IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) using the zip on this archive.org upload archive.org/details/6277356-eg

    It contains the listings (from the IBM EGA manual i suppose, which included them), and shell scripts to compile them. The script runs on Unix and uses the `emu2` program to run the text-mode DOS programs (MASM.EXE and LINK.EXE which are included in the zip). I had to clone and compile emu2 myself (just like the good old days).
