Video Graphics Programming
Major Components
The videod rcuitry is comprised of the following major components.
CRT Controller
A 6845 CRT controller IC provides the proper drive signals for a raster scan
CRT. The device is highly programmable with regard to raster and character manip-
ulation, and allows for the implementation of many display modes.
Mode Select and Status Registers
The mode select and status registers in the video interface are general-purpose
programmable I/O registers which determine mode of operation and color on
an RGB CRT display and levels of gray on a monochrome monitor.
Display Buffer
The display buffer, which resides in addressable memory at B8000H, incorporates
16 kilobytes of dynamic read/write memory. A dual port arrangement allows both
the CPU and CRT controller equal access to this buffer in all modes of operation.
In case of conflict, the CRT controller has higher priority in order to prevent
display interference. This is invisible to the user program.
Monitor RAM
An additional 16K of RAM is contained on the video card and located at F0000
to F3FFF. This RAM is for use by monitor driven software only and should not
be written to by the user. If data is inadvertently sent to this buffer, strange and
unpredictable results may occur.
