i got all of the characters + a little bit of color handling code to complete the drawing. this will be part of the second teletype driver I write, although I still am not the biggest fan of this. my next step will be to write a bitmap driver arrangement that the teletype will then be bolted onto, since the current teletype ordeal with this will be just ad-hoc writes to memory without mounting to a specific display, it could possibly corrupt memory if loaded incorrectly (like the vga text mode driver). anyway ill git commit here so you can see
