Playing with it, I can get a 320x200 X up in VGA mode, if I don't 
allow int10 to run.  As soon as we bring int10 in, we get the checksum
(I suspect we have a mapping issue somewhere). 

Is there anything I can run to map the BIOS ROMS on the machine? 

What can I do to help? 

I'd LOVE to get it running, but I suspect the BIOS mapping into the
system is the issue, and I don't know what the maps are.
