 Joe,

 Thanks! That did it. I was trying different versions of Qemu sequentially,
 and hopping around, and could not get one past that 09 error. I have no
 regrets of jumping down the rabbit hole though, since I have learned heaps
 about DMA and qemu, and I have even started to look into Alex's code. Now,
 back to PilOS!!!

 Hi Rob,

 I'm using qemu-2.0.9.1 on win64 with pilos and it works fine

 I downloaded it from here:

 http://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/qemu-w64-setup-20140715.exe

 Later versions, including qemu-w64-setup-20150503.exe did not run for me

 Hope that helps

  Is that a 09h Attempt to DMA over 64kb boundary using the same Wiki

  How can I fix it or keep moving on? Where do I look in the source to
  troubleshoot this myself? Exciting fun anyhow, so no complaints here!

  Hi Robert,
 
   First, I would like to donate some money anyway, seeing how much fun
   I
   have
   had with PicoLisp and PilOS.
 
  Thanks, that's very nice! But don't worry, that's not what I'm looking
  for. I need some stable, long-term project(s) ;)
 
 
   Second, I get a 'Guest has not initialized the display (yet).' when
   trying
   to run PilOS in qemu on my i5 Windows 8.1 64bit machine. Any steps I
   am
   missing? I am a qemu newbie, and PilOS newbie.
 
  I did a short search on the web, and it seems this error appears in
  qemu
  in other situations too. Not only on Windows, but also on other guest
  operating systems.
 
  I have no idea what might be the reason. PilOS simply uses the standard
  VIDEO memory (VGA) on hardware address 0xB8000.
 
  Can you try another version of qemu?
