That does complicate things a bit.  However, if there's
an RS-232 port on the machine, then you could use
that for a console at least during initial development.
And in principle, osinit.dis could initialize the graphics
hardware and fire off the window manager, and you
wouldn't need to write the emulation of a character
mode.
