standard VGA modes.
2: Clock/3 for 24bit pixels. In this mode the video clock is
programmed for 3 times the number of pixels (= the number of
bytes) and the horizontal timing in units of 8 pixels as in
standard VGA modes.
3: (5426-3x only) 16bit pixel data at Pixel Rate. In this mode
the video clock is programmed for the number of pixels (= the
number of bytes) and the horizontal timing in units of 8
pixels as in standard VGA modes.
4: (543x only) 32bit pixel data at Pixel Rate. In this mode the
video clock is programmed for the number of pixels (= the
number of bytes) and the horizontal timing in units of 8
pixels as in standard VGA modes. This works as a 4bytes per
pixel mode, with the 4th byte being ignored.

BLANK* and P[0-7] drivers, which frees the ESYNC and EVIDEO* pins
for EEPROM operations. This bit should be set prior to setting bit 4
and cleared after clearing bit 4
6 Disable MEMCS16* for display memory. If set video memory accesses
will not assert the MCS16* signal. This only works for ISA bus
systems, for all other configurations (and when using BITBLTs to or

3C6h (R/W): Hidden DAC Register
bit 0-3 Extended Mode Select. If bit 6 and 7 are both set this field
selects the DAC mode:
0: 5-5-5 15bit Sierra HiColor
1: 5-6-5 16bit "XGA" HiColor
5: (5422+) 8-8-8 24bit TrueColor. This mode also exists on the
5420 rev1, but is not documented.
6/7: (5428+) DAC Power-down
8: (5428+) 8bit Greyscale.
9: (5428+) 3-3-2 8bit RGB
4 32K Color Control. If set bit 15 (MSB) of a 15bit pixel selects
whether the pixel is HiColor(bit 15 = 0) or palette data(bit 15 = 1,
bit 0-7 is the palette index). This bit only has effect in 5-5-5
15bit modes.
5 Clocking Mode. If set Clocking Mode 2 will be selected and data will
only be latched on the rising edge of DCLK, if clear Clocking Mode 1
will be selected and data will be latched on both the rising edge
(low byte) and falling edge (high byte) of DCLK. This bit only has
effect in 15/16 bit modes as all other modes will use Clocking Mode
2. Clocking Mode 1 should only be used for externally supplied DCLK
and pixel data.
6 Enable ALL Extended Modes. If bit 7 is set and this bit is clear the
DAC is in 5-5-5 15bit Sierra HiColor mode, if both bit 7 and this
bit are set bits 0-3 determines the DAC mode.
7 Enable 5-5-5 Mode. If set the DAC is in an advanced mode, depending
on the other bits in this register, if clear the DAC is in VGA
compatible palette mode.
Note: This register is accessed by reading 3C6h four times to unlock this
register, then the next read or write of 3C6h will access this register.
After reading or writing this register the register is locked and this
register can only be accessed be redoing the 4 reads of 3C6h etc. Any
access to 3C7h-3C9h will also lock this register. The 5428 is the
exception where reads of this register will NOT lock it.
Note: This register does not exist on the 5401/5402 and the 5420 rev A.

3CEh index 5 (R/W): Mode
bit 0-1 (index 0Bh bit 2 clear) Write mode bits 0-1
0-2 (index 0Bh bit 2 set) Write mode bit 0-2
See the VGA section for modes 0-3.
mode 4: Foreground write. Writes to 8 256color pixels. Each
bit of the CPU data controls writing to one pixel.
Each 1 bit in the CPU data causes the color in 3CEh index
to be written to the corresponding pixel. 0 bits cause the
pixel to be left unchanged. Used to blit patterns with
transparent background.
For the 5422-3x this can be used in 16bit modes if 3CEh
index 0Bh bit 4 is set. 3CEh index 10h has the upper 8bits
of the foreground color
mode 5: Fore and background write. As mode 4, but 0 bits of the
CPU data cause the color in 3CEh index 0 to be written to
the corresponding pixels.
3 Enable Read Color Compare
4 Enable odd/even (3C4h index 4 bit 2).
5 Shift 2 bits per byte (CGA compatibility)

Note: This is a change from the original VGA
3CEh index 09h (R/W): Offset Register 0
bit 0-7 4K Primary/Low bank number.
If 3CEh index 0Bh bit 0 is set references to A000h-A7FFh use this
bank register. If clear references to A000h-AFFFh use this bank
register. (5426-3x) If index 0Bh bit 5 is set this register is in
units of 16KB, rather than 4KB
3CEh index 0Ah (R/W): Offset Register 1
bit 0-7 4K High bank number.
If 3CEh index 0Bh bit 0 is set references to A800h-AFFFh use this
bank register. (5426-3x) If index 0Bh bit 5 is set this register is
in units of 16KB, rather than 4KB
3CEh index 0Bh (R/W): Graphics Controller Mode Extensions Register
bit 0 Enable Offset Register 1. If set references to A000h-A7FFh use 3CEh
index 9 as bank register, and references to A800h-AFFFh use 3CEh
index 0Ah as bank register. If clear all references to A000h-AFFFh
use 3CEh index 9 as bank register.
(5422 +) Should be set to 0 if linear addressing (3C4h index 7 bits
4-7 not 0) is used.
1 Enable BY8 Addressing. If set video memory addresses are shifted 3
bits right, so that each CPU byte corresponds to an 8 byte block (in
256 color mode). Intended for use with bit 2. If bit 4 is set, it
will override this bit.
2 Enable Extended Write Modes. If set enables Write Modes 4 and 5 and
extends 3C4h index 2 and 3CEh index 0 & 1 from 4 to 8 bits and
enables 3CEh index 0Bh bit 4. The extended write modes are intended
for 256color modes and allows each CPU byte written to update 8
pixels in one operation.
3 Enable Eight Byte memory read Data Latch. If set the display memory
data latches are 8bits wide, rather than 4bits.
4 Enable Enhanced Writes for 16bit pixels. If set (and bit 2 is set)
enables the 16bit version of the extended write modes: in 3C4h index
2 each bit controls two bytes (= 1 pixel), 3CEh index 10h & 11h are
enabled as the upper half of the fore- and background colors (3CEh
index 0 and 1) and addresses are shifted 4 bits right.
5 (5426-3x) Offset Granularity.
If set the bank registers are in 16K rather than 4K units.
3CEh index 0Ch (R/W): Color Key Compare (5424 +)
bit 0-7 Color Key Compare bits 0-7. If Color Key Comparison is enabled (3d4h
index 1Ah bit 3 set) the pixel data from video ram is compared to
this value, and if they are equal (considering the mask in index
0Dh) the pixel from video ram is replaced by the pixel from the
Feature Connector.
3CEh index 0Dh (R/W): Color Key Compare Mask (5424 +)
bit 0-7 Color Key Compare Key Mask 0-7. When Color Key Comparison is used
this byte selects the bits in the pixel data to compare. A 1 enables
the corresponding bit for comparison.
3CEh index 0Eh (R/W): Miscellaneous Control (5428 +)
bit 0 DCLK Output Divide by 2. If set the DAC takes one byte (low) on the
rising edge of DCLK and another (high) on the falling edge, this is
similar to the Sierra "Mark1" (SC11481/6/8) HiColor mode.
1 (5429 +) Static HSYNC. If set DAC is powered down and the HSYNC
output will static at the level programmed in 3C2h bit 6.
2 (5429 +) Static VSYNC. If set DAC is powered down and the VSYNC
output will static at the level programmed in 3C2h bit 7.

expanded BLT operation.
7 (543x) Disable X-Y Offset Indexing
3CEh index 30h (R/W): BLT Mode (5426 +)
bit 0 BLT Direction. Set to decrement addresses during BitBLT operations,
clear to increment.
1 BLT Destination Display/System Memory. Set if the destination of the
BLT is system memory, clear if it is in display memory.
2 BLT Source Display/System Memory. Set if the source of the BLT is in
system memory, clear if it is in display memory.
3 (5426-28) Enable Transparency Compare. If set the result of the ROP
is compared with the Transparency Color Register (index 34h/35h).
Bit 4 determines if the compare is 8 or 16 bit. If the ROP result
matches the register(s) the data is NOT written.
(5429) Enable Color Expand with Transparency. If set 0's in the
monochrome image being expanded will prevent the pixel from being
written. If clear 0's are expanded to the background color.
1's are always expanded to the foreground color.
4 (5426-29) Color Expand/Transparency Width. If set (and bit 7 set)
Color expansion writes 16bit pixels, if clear only 8 bit pixels.
Not 5429: If bit 3 set this bit determines the width of the
comparison for the Transparency test: Set for 16bit compares, clear
for 8bit compares.
4-5 (543x) Color Expand/Transparency Width. 0: 8bit, 1: 16bit, 3: 32bit
6 Enable 8x8 Pattern Copy. If set the source is an 8x8 pattern which
is copied repeatably to the destination. If Color Expansion is
enabled (bit 7 set) the source is an 8 byte monochrome 8x8 bitmap
aligned on an 8byte boundary, if not it is an 8x8 color bitmap
aligned on a 4 byte boundary, using either 64 or 128 bytes
depending on the current number of bits per pixel (8 or 16).
7 Enable Color Expand. If set the input to the ROP (Raster OPeration)
will be the source bitmap after it is color expanded.
The destination must be screen memory (bit 1 clear) and the
direction increment (bit 0 clear). The Color Registers 3CEh index
0,1,10h and 11h are used to expand the source bitmap.
The source bitmap starts with the MSB of the first byte. A line in
always starts with the MSB of a byte. This may cause extra bits at
the end of each line if the pattern width is not a multipla of 8
pixels. When the BLT is screen-to-screen the source map must start
at a 4byte boundary and will be addressed linearly (source pitch is
ignored).
Note: Either the destination or the source (but not both) of a BLT operation
can be in system memory. If so the source data is written to (or the
destination data read from) a random address in video memory. The VGA
chip will catch these accesses and direct them to the BLT engine.
The data read/written must be as DWORDs, i.e. 4 bytes at a time aligned
on a 4byte boundary, even if the BLT has less than 4 bytes remaining.
3CEh index 31h (R/W): BLT Start/Status (5426 +)
bit 0 (R) BLT Status. Set if the BLT engine is busy, clear if it is free
1 BLT Start/Suspend. Set to start BLT operation. This bit will clear
when the BLT terminates. Clear this bit to suspend the BLT.
2 BLT Reset. If set the BLT engine will reset and terminate any
operation in progress.
3 (R) BLT Progress Status. Set when the BLT starts. Clears when it
ends. Remains set if the BLT is suspended (bit 1), but clears if the
BLT is reset (bit 2).
3CEh index 32h (R/W): BLT Raster Operation (ROP) (5426 +)
bit 0-7 BLT 2-operand Raster Operation.

3d4h index 1Ah (R/W): Miscellaneous Control
bit 0 Enable Interlace sync/video data in Graphics mode or interlace only
in Text mode. Set if an interlaced mode.
1 Enable Double-Buffered Display Start Address. If set changes to the
Display Start Address (index 0Ch,0Dh plus extensions) will not take
effect until VSYNC occours, thus preventing the need to check VSYNC
before updating the DSA.
2-3 Overlay/DAC Mode Switching Control
0: Normal Operation
1: with EVIDEO* (or OVWR* for the 5429 only)
2: with EVIDEO* and Color Key (5424-3x only)

3d4h index 1A are enabled.
6 Select Text mode Fast-Page. If set font data will be fetched using
fast Page Mode read cycles allowing text modes with a VCLK greater
than 30 MHz. This will not work with VGA double fonts, I.e. the two
Character Maps in 3C4h index 3 must be equal. If this bit is clear
all font fetches use random reads.
7 (5424-3x) Enable Blank End Extensions. If set (or if bit 5 is set)
the Horizontal and Vertical Blank End bits (bit 4-7) in 3d4h index
1A are enabled.

bit 3 Video Subsystem Enable. If set the chip is enabled, if clear the
chip is disabled and only responds to this register, 102h and the
BIOS, all other registers and the video memory will not respond.
4 Setup. If set the chip is in setup mode and only this register and
102h can be accessed, other registers and display memory does not
respond, if this bit clear the chip is in normal mode.
Note: This is the same registers as 3C3h. The register is mapped at 3C3h,
46E8h or disabled depending on bus and chiptype. The 5420 and 5422
always maps it at 46E8h. The 5424-29 maps it at 3C3h (Motherboard
systems CF[3]=0) or 46E8h (CF[3]=1) depending on bit 3 of the
Configuration Register, which is sampled at power-on from MD[16-31].
MicroChannel systems disables this register
