20 built from git tag qemu-slof-20161019.
22 - sgabios (the Serial Graphics Adapter option ROM) provides a means for
23 legacy x86 software to communicate with an attached serial console as
24 if a video card were attached. The master sources reside in a subversion
25 repository at http://sgabios.googlecode.com/svn/trunk. A git mirror is
26 available at git://git.qemu-project.org/sgabios.git.
