Not necessarily for gaming, can it be done in general?
My 286 has a meg of ram runs DOS 5,0 and has a 16 bit ISA slot.
I just wanted to see how fast I could push pixels on my new 286.
i've done it in DOSBox with my test program that I wrote in assembly which just cycles through fullscreen colors without a delay.
At very low cycle rates, I can still update frames pretty quickly but I know from experience that DOSBox cycles do NOT correlate with hardware machine cycles.
Is there a card that supports those resolutions that will work with a 286? I'm buying a vga card anyway.
