Text mode screen 0 revisited....

[na_th_an]

in my experience i've only been able to use the DAC registers with the first 5 colors in screen zeros. The color palette goes up to 31, but 16-31 is simple 0-15 blinking.

Could I have an example/demo of how you get the other 64?

Follow and read the FAQ entry. Your problem is 'cause colour 6 is mapped to 20. If you do

Code:

FOR i%=0 to 15: PALETTE i%,i%: NEXT

before playing with DACs, you won't have any problems (check the example in the FAQ).
