Neat! The nostalgia is palpable. Off topic: we always referred to mode-x variants as MCGA, TIL that's more of a colloquial term than a technically accurate one [1] [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Color_Graphics_Array | ||

AFAIK, MCGA has nothing to do with Mode-X. Mode-X was 320x240, and was achieved by manipulating VGA settings. MCGA supported Mode 13h, but I see no evidence that it could be manipulated to output 320x240 or that it supported planar memory, which is generally considered synonymous with Mode-X. In fact, from what I can tell, MCGA didn't have enough memory to support planar mode. | ||

Thanks for sharing, I do not believe that I was familiar with that term at the time. | ||
