The 'real mode' pointer is NOT a Physical address. The 'real mode' pointer referes to a 'vbeFarPtr' explained in VBE30.PDF. If I change it it your example, the returned address is invalid. (does not point to were it's ment to). The PHYSICAL address is NOT a REAL mode pointer. The pysical address is a 32-bit CPU address. I'm just not sure on how I'm ment to read the PHYSICAL address Thanks for your help anyway.
