In EGA Bios ram there is a pointer at 0040:00a8 which points to a table
of pointers. The second of these pointers points to a buffer into which
the values for the palette registers will be saved. How do I get bios
to do the save? I have tried setting up my own pointer table (by changing
the pointer at 04:00a8 to another set of pointers with my own values) and
then setting a register. I also tried int 10h ah=12h bl=10 (both hex and
decimal), which is a call to return ega info.
