Hello, I am working on a console-based text RPG and I'm going to write it in Assembly. To do this I plan to use various BIOS interrupts to set the video mode and get keypresses, write to the screen buffer, ect...

I will definately need a good BIOS interrupt reference, can anyone point me to a good one? (hopefully something basic)

Anyone know how to set the video mode to an 80x25 FULL screen console? All I can get is the little windowed version, but I am positive there is a way to do this.

Any references / tutorials that talk about setting colors/changing active pages/ect would be very helpful. Thanks.
