VGA Driver
''********************************************
''* VGA 128x96 64-Color Bitmap Driver v1.0 *
''* Author: Andy Schenk *
''* See end of file for terms of use. *
''********************************************
''* based on Chip Gracey's 512x384 Bitmap driver
''
'' This object generates a 128x96 pixel bitmap, signaled as 1024x768 VGA.
'' Each pixel is one byte, so the entire bitmap requires 12 kbytes,
'' Pixel memory is arranged left-to-right then top-to-bottom.
''
'' A sync indicator signals each time the screen is drawn (you may ignore).
''
'' You must provide buffers for the pixels, and sync. Once started,
'' all interfacing is done via memory. To this object, all buffers are read-
'' only, with the exception of the sync indicator which gets written with a
'' non-0 value. You may freely write all buffers to affect screen appearance.
