Does anyone know where the starting address of the character
definitions of an EGA or VGA video board is located? Thanks for any info!

For EGA and, presumably, VGA:

	mov ah, 11h		; char gen routine
	mov al, 30h		; info
	mov bh, 2		; ROM 8x14 ptr
	int 10h

Returns a pointer to the ROM character table in ES:BP.
