Phat!
 
 
Yo plaz!  Have you had any experience with int21,48h?

I'm trying to allocate memory by calling this

;64000 bytes
;vga_seg is a word value

mov bx, 4000   
mov ah, 48h
int 21h

mov vga_seg, ax

Now when I blit in the upper half of the screen, it crashes.

LIke 
mov es, vga_seg
mov di, 10
mov es:[di], al

it crashes.

Looking at the garbage on screen as I've tried to Pcopy the whole of 64000 bytes to 0a000h, the top half has some data that I know nothing about and the lowe half is empty.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
