<h2> </h2>
<h2><font size="5">Description</font></h2>
<p><font size="4">This is a text mode video display controller that supports
color. The controller uses several internal
dual ported r/w memories to store text, text attributes and character bitmaps. The display memory is
thirty-two bits wide of which only nine bits are implemented, allowing 512 different
simultaneous characters to be displayed. The attribute memory is also thirty-two
bits wide with nine bits implemented, allowing for 32 foreground colors and 16
background colors. The use of internal dual ported memories means that the text
controller does not consume any memory bandwidth from the processor.</font></p>
