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
to determine whether the requested page actually exists, use AH=0Fh to query the current page after making this call
