operations are modified by multiplying the Secondary Host Offset by
16 and adding the result to the host address.
4 Extended Memory Enable. If set extended memory is enabled.
5-7 Primary/Secondary Read/Write Select.

Both Read/Write
3: Read and Write to Secondary only
Note: This is the Extended Memory Enable register (3C4h index 1Eh).
Memory 0Ch W(R/W): Cursor X Position Register (32 only)
bit 0-10 If 3C4h index 30h bit 1 is set this is the Cursor X Position
registers (3C4h index 0Dh and 0Eh)
Memory 0Eh W(R/W): Cursor Y Position Register (32 only)
bit 0-11 If 3C4h index 30h bit 1 is set this is the Cursor Y Position
registers (3C4h index 0Fh and 10h)
Memory 30h (R/W): BLT Start Register (32 only)
bit 0 Start/Stop. Set to start a BLT operation, clear to stop the
current operation
1 Text BLT. Set for Text Mode BLTs, clear for standard BLTs
2 BLT Completed Interrupt. If set causes an interrupt when the
Accelerator engine has completed an operation. The interrupt is
cleared when a 0 is written to this bit.
3 Write FIFO Empty Interrupt. If set enables an interrupt when the
Write FIFO goes empty
Memory 32h (R): BLT Status Register (32 only)
bit 0 Ready. If clear the engine is busy, if set the operation has
finished and the parameters can be updated.
1 Error. If set indicates that an illegal BLT operation was entered.
This bit is cleared when a new operation is started.
2 BLT Done Interrupt Status. Set when an interrupt has been generated
due to a BLT Done condition.
3 Write FIFO Near Empty Interrupt. Set if an interrupt has been
generated due to a Write FIFO Near Empty condition.
4 Write FIFO Full. Set when the Write FIFO is full
Memory 34h W(R/W): BLT Control Register (32 only)
bit 1 Color Compare Invert. If clear color match operations return 1 for
the pixels which match the reference color and 0 for those that
don't, if set this is reversed.
3 Map Width. If set the data transferred when either the Source or
Destination data is in system memory is padded or truncated to
achieve word aligned data.
4 Large Pattern Enable. If clear 8x8 pixel patterns are used, if set
16x16 patterns are used for 256 color modes.
5 Transparency Enable. If set enables background transparency for
color expand operations.
6 Vertical Direction. The Blit direction is "down" (increasing Y) if
set, "up" (decreasing Y) if clear
7 Horizontal Direction. The Blit direction is "left" (increasing X) if
set, "right" (decreasing X) if clear.
9 Color Fill Enable. If set the operation is a solid fill and only one
pixel of the pattern data need be read.
10 Color Compare Enabled if set
11 Color Expand Enable. If set the source data is monochrome and is
replaced with fore/background data in the full color depth
12 Destination Address Mode. If set the source data is stored in
linear format, if clear it is stored in rectangular format.
13 Source Address Mode. If set the destination data is stored in
linear format, if clear it is stored in rectangular format.
14 Destination Location. If set the Destination is in the frame
buffer, if clear the destination data is transferred to the system
memory via the ?read? FIFO.
15 Source Location. If set the Source data comes from the frame buffer,
if clear the system supplies the Source data
Memory 38h (R/W): Pattern X Rotation (32 only)
bit 0-3 The Horizontal Pixel alignment of the pattern
Memory 39h (R/W): Pattern Y Rotation (32 only)
bit 0-3 The Vertical Pixel alignment of the pattern
Memory 3Ah (R/W): Raster Opcode (32 only)
bit 0-7 The raster opcode. See MS-Windows trinary raster codes for the full
list. CCh is copy source -> Destination
Memory 3Ch W(R/W): Bitmap Dimension Width (32 only)
bit 0-11 Bitmap Width. The width of the Source and Destination bitmaps in
pixels
Memory 3Eh W(R/W): Bitmap Dimension Height (32 only)
bit 0-11 Bitmap Height. The height of the Source and Destination bitmaps in
pixels. For Text BLTs this is the character cell height
Memory 40h D(R/W): Destination Register (32 only)
bit 0-2 Bit position for monochome bitmaps. For Color Compare to Memory BLTs
this field specifies the initial bit alignment of the Destination
bitmap
3-24 Destination Address. This is the address of the starting corner of
the Destination Bitmap
Memory 44 D(R/W): Source Register (32 only)
bit 0-2 Bit position for monochome bitmaps. For Color Expand BLTs this field
specifies the initial bit alignment of the Source bitmap
3-24 Source Address. This is the address of the starting corner of the
Destination Bitmap
Memory 48h D(R/W): Pattern Register (32 only)
bit 0-2 Bit offset, must be 0
3-24 Pattern Address. This is the address of the starting corner of
the Pattern. The address must be DWORD aligned.
Memory 4Ch D(R/W): Foreground Color Register (32 only)
bit 0-23 The foreground color
Memory 50h D(R/W): Background Color Register (32 only)
bit 0-23 The Background Color.
