Hmm. A 8086 isn't quite a PC on which you want to loose performance. And
that's exactly what you're doing here. PutPixel is a short routine and you
loose way to much time if you don't inline it...

You wouldn't have to rewrite it for every -CARD-, you would have to re-
write it for every BIT-DEPTH. Which isn't that much work anyway.
