[FYI] VGA, 50x18, single cog, per cell colour, ROM font ("Hidemaru" release)

Drivers utilising 50 columns have been around for a while but AFAIK all of them use RAM fonts. So I though let's see if I can get rid of the RAM overhead and use the ROM font instead. Turned out to be easier than expected and I even have one spare insn in the emitter loop.

'' long[par][0]:  screen: [!Z]:addr = 16:16 -> zero (accepted), 2n
'' long[par][2]: palette: [!Z]:addr = 16:16 -> zero (accepted), 4n
'' long[par][3]: frame indicator

Note that since 600 isn't quite 32n there is an empty 3/4 line at the bottom of the screen. The UI disallows printing there at the moment but characters put into screen memory will be displayed just fine.

Amazing! Many thanks to Black Cat for another feat of magic.
