  As far as I can tell it's a hardware feature. There are programs which
give a non-blinking cursor by turning off the hardware cursor (set start
and stop lines to 15 as I recall) and doing it in software. If you
really want to stop it I think you can cut a trace, at least on the mono
and CGA boards.
