I prefer Intel assembler syntax because that is what I originally 
learned.  I have a Borland assembler which runs on DOS.  I also have an 
old MS assembler 5.x but it is a piece of junk.

OTOH, it would be very nice to have a meta-assembler if one is available.

I have a copy of: VGAHDW.exe which is PC Magazine's DOS program to test 
VGA hardware for compatibility with the IBM standard.

I have a copy of the original IBM documentation for VGA, but I don't yet 
have a scanner.  I could purchase one (I have been planning to do so if 
I could find a good one for SANE) if there is any need for this 
documentation.
