Int 10/AH=12h/BH=55h

VIDEO - ALTERNATE FUNC SELECT (ATI,Tatung,Taxan) - ENHANCED FEATURES

AH = 12h
BH = 55h
BL = subfunction
00h disable enhanced features
01h enable enhanced features
02h get status
Return:
AL = status flags (see #00027)
03h disable register trapping (CGA emulation)
04h enable register trapping
05h program video mode
ES:BP -> video mode table (see #00028)
06h get mode table
AL = video mode
Return:
ES:BP -> table suitable for mode AL
(and subfunc BL=05h) (see #00028)
BP = FFFFh on error
SI = 0000h (ATI Mach32)

Note: The ATI Mouse driver (MOUSE.COM/MOUSE.SYS) uses subfunction 06h to get the mode table for mode 03h, and then looks for a signature string beginning within 32 bytes of the offset specified by the word at ES:000Ch
