0xB800 is the addy so
2 byte per car: 1 is the ascii code, the other is the attribute
attribute is bit 7: blink /not
                        6-5-4 the background
                        3-2-1-0 the color
80 car/25 line
4000 byte per sheet so

uchar *Video = 0xB800;
*(Video+x+y*160)='A';
*(Video+x+y*161)=0<<8+1<<4+13;

will put an A not blinking of background blue? and color maybe pink?
