INT 10 - VIDEO - Tseng ET-4000 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. - GET 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. TYPE
	AX = 10F1h
Return: AL = 10h if supported
	BL = type of digital/analog converter (see #00019)
Desc:	determine which type of digital-to-analog converter is installed on the
	  display board
