INT 10 - VIDEO - READ INDIVIDUAL DAC(Digital-to-Analog Converter) A hardware device (in its simplest form, nothing more than a set of interconnected resistors) which converts a digital number into an analog signal whose voltage is proportional to the value of the digital number. VGAVideo Graphics Array and later color video boards use DACs to convert color values into the analog signals sent to the display; sound boards normally use DACs as well. REGISTER (VGAVideo Graphics Array(Video Graphics Array) The video adapter introduced with the IBMInternational Busiuness Machines PS/2IBM PS/2, any model series of computers./MCGAMulti-Color Graphics Array(Multi-Color Graphics Array) The low-end color adapter offered in IBMInternational Busiuness Machines's early PS/2IBM PS/2, any model series machines.) AX = 1015h BL = palette register number Return: DH = red value CH = green value CL = blue value AX destroyed by some BIOSes (e.g. Tseng ET4000 BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. v8.00n always returns AX=00C9h) SeeAlso: AX=1010h,AX=1017h
