second patch makes some sense (if I understand the code right.) On a single cycle transfer issue the irq early (sb.dma.min) so the application can program a new transfer intime.

sure it is possible. write your own colour command. (that issues a few int10 calls). DOSBox doesn't come with this command buildin, but it supports the the internals of how such a program would work
