Thank you! I use DOSBox to run QuickBASIC 4.5 on my Mac to check my implementation :)
Unfortunately, Magic Dosbox for Android doesn't seem to work very well with QB45.exe...
Aside from linking with assembler, what QuickBASIC 4.5 funcs give you the ability to interface with the hardware directly in the fashion you're describing?

- thatha7777 3y agoAh, yes, you're 100% right. Writing a full-on IBM PC/DOS emulator is beyond the scope of this project -- the project's goal is my dad's request to "show off programming while drinking coffee" :P.
- Dwedit 3y agoThere were also IN and OUT commands. Used by programs to directly set the palette on VGA, among other things (entering tweaked VGA modes, etc)
