Pointer to the start address of the video memory. It is transferred to the
relevant hardware registers (returned by Physbase) and to _v_bas_ad
(returned by Logbase) during every vertical blank (until cleared). As the value
is not cleared after setting automatically, one should be careful with its usage
and perhaps use Setscreen instead.
