These bits enable (bit = 1) writing to their corresponding bytes in each DWORD of the frame buffer (i.e., EM3 enables byte
3, EM2 enables byte 2, etc.). The four maps or planes correspond to the four bytes in each DWORD of the frame buffer.
Reads to all maps are always enabled, and are unaffected by these bits.
