So it should be disabled maybe if it's know to be broken ?

Need "grab HD IRQ (problem with native controllers!)" for being able to "use polling, not IRQ" ?

    invoke printf, CStr(10)
    @putchr lf

What does ^^^ this do ?

;--- externals
wvsprintfA  proto stdcall :dword, :dword, :dword
wsprintfA   proto c :dword, :dword, :VARARG

include vioout.inc

What is the benefit of VIOOUT over INT $21 or INT $10 ? Maybe there is some space for optimization here BTW, I got it compiled and "working" with both VIOOUT and VWSPRINTF barred out ... was < 4 KiB plain code ... but not very verbose anymore
