  • returns data from BIOS DATA AREA locations 40:50, 40:60 and 40:61
  • the 6845 can also be used to read the cursor position
  • the return data can be circumvented by direct port I/O to the 6845 CRT Controller since this function returns the data found in the BIOS Data Area without actually checking the controller
