Function 0FEh   Get Alternate Screen Buffer Address (text mode only) 

(Topview/DesQview/Taskview)

entry AH 0FEh

ES:DI segment:offset of assumed video buffer

return: ES:DI segment:offset of actual video buffer

note 1) This alternate video buffer can be written to directly, in the same

manner as writing to address -B0000 or address -B8000. The MT

program will manage the actual display.

2) There is no need to synchronize vertical retrace when writing to the

alternate buffer; this is managed by the MT program

3) If TopView or DESQview is not running, ES:DI is returned unchanged.

4) TopView requires that function 0FFh be called every time you write into

the buffer to tell TopView that something changed
