6.6.16 VGA Block Configuration Registers
6.6.16.1 VGA Configuration (VGA_CONFIG)
This register controls palette write operations.
6.6.16.2 VGA Status (VGA_STATUS)
This register provides status information for the individual SMI events enabled in the VGA_CONFIG register (DC Memory
Offset 100h), as well as certain other status bits. Reading this register clears all active events.

Bit Name Description
31:1 RSVD Reserved. Set to 0.
0 WPPAL Write Protect Palette. If set to 1, VGA palette write operations are NOT written to the
palette RAMs. Palette writes behave normally, except that the data is discarded.

VGA_STATUS Bit Descriptions
Bit Name Description
31:30 RSVD Reserved.
29:24 BLINK_CNT Blink Counter Value. Unsynchronized, used as a simulation aid.
23:22 RSVD Reserved.
21:12 V_CNT Vertical Counter Value. Unsynchronized, used as a simulation aid.
11:6 RSVD Reserved.
5 VSYNC VSYNC. 1 If VSYNC is active (copy of bit 3 of ISR1).
4 DISPEN Display Enable. 0 if both horizontal and vertical display enable are active (copy of bit 0
of ISR1).
3 CRTCIO_SMI CRTC Register SMI. If = 1, an SMI was generated due to an I/O read or write to an non-
implemented CRTC register.
