Craig:
I presume you mean low level access to the chip set rather than 
simply calling the BIOS routines. is this correct?  If so, it
becomes much less a 'C' problem than a doc problem on the card
itself.  I don't have any info on that specifically, but I might
suggest you call someplace like the Computer Literacy Bookstore
in Sunnyvale, California. They know computers and know the
available books: they also mail order I understand, although
I am a local so I've no direct proof of that.  Once you have
the chip stuff, it should be easy to define some memory variables
and play to your heart's content.
