Infamous means famous but for a bad reason, basically notorious. I've noticed a lot of people making this mistake recently, as well as people using ignorant to mean stupid. But I digress...

Many of us have that mode 13h stuff memorised too, including the 0x3c8 and 0x3c9 palette registers etc. And since 320x200 bytes is less than 65536 you don't need to do any segment stuff to access the full frame buffer.
