13503BIOS is a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program which replaces and/or supplements the
PC video interrupt INT 10h. This program provides text, scroll, and cursor functionality when no
VGA BIOS is present. Although the S1D13503 is not a VGA or EGA compatible controller, this
program is supplied to give the user a familiar prompt. Within limits 13503BIOS simulates a VGA
BIOS and will allow standard output functions to work. DOS programs such as Edlin, Format,
Debug, and internal commands such as Copy, Ren, Mkdir, etc., should work. However, complex
programs such as Edit, Qbasic, and Scandisk will not work. The standard output functions are han-
dled by the VGA BIOS, if present.
