I don't think that address is in the go32-v2 sources, if you looked at
it with DOS DEBUG program.  In any case, there's no output anywhere
near that address in go32-v2.

You didn't reply to what I asked earlier: did you download CWSDPMI.EXE
to the microcontroller's disk emulation?  DJGPP programs MUST find
CWSDPMI.EXE to run.

The sources for go32-v2 are in v2/djlsr201.zip.

Neither.  go32-v2 calls `printf' which boils down to a DOS call.
Whether this goes to the BIOS or to the video memory depends on your
DOS emulation, DJGPP has nothing to do with that.  In plain MS-DOS, a
BIOS function is eventually called, but I don't know how does your
emulator work in this respect.
