You would need the Technical specs for the Video board then... and you wouldn't be able to use the OS.

so i cannot use it as linear ehh array (without bitplanes) using OS api? I.e. 1 byte - 1 $ffcolored pixel

Yeah, but you need to use some kind of driver to set up the linear frame buffer... Cybergfx, P96 and the rtg.library do that for you.

Both the P96 and CGX developer APIs are available.

Even if you just use CGX v3 functionality you will be compatible with a broad range of systems.

For chunky pixel access to a BitMap under CGX, all you need to do is use LockBitMapTags(), having first ensured that the bitmap is a CGX compatible one. Things like allocating, freeing, blitting etc are still handled by the normal graphics.library.
