Here is how device manager under 98 SE2 describes my video card:

Class: Display adapters
       Device: Trident Blade 3D PCI/AGP (v6.50.5452-11a)
       Resources:
         IRQ: 11
         I/O: 03B0h-03BBh
         I/O: 03C0h-03DFh
         MEM: 000A0000h-000AFFFFh
         MEM: 000B0000h-000BFFFFh
         MEM: DF800000h-DFFFFFFFh
         MEM: DF000000h-DF01FFFFh
         MEM: DE800000h-DEFFFFFFh
         MEM: 000C0000h-000CBFFFh
         MEM: DF020000h-DF02FFFFh

I ran MSET both with and without your code and the Mandelbrot set displayed
cleanly. ESC did not get me out cleanly, but this problem was common to
both sets of code. The card has 8mb of SDRAM and is set under windows
to run at 1024x768 True Color(32 bit) on a 15" Maxtech monitor.

I would really like to see the results on a v7700 or some of the new
geForces.
