Port 3C0 - Address Register
The attribute controller registers do not have an input bit
to control selection of the address and data registers. An
internal address flip-flop controls this selection. Reading
Input Status Register 1 (port 3DA) clears the flip-flop and
selects the Address register.
After the Address register has been loaded with the index, the
next Write operation to 3C0 loads the data register. The
flip-flop toggles for each Write operation to address 3C0. It
does not toggle for Read operations to 3C1.
11xx xxxx Reserved
xx1x xxxx Internal Palette Address Source
This bit is set to 0 to load color values
to the registers the internal palette. For
normal operations of the attribute controller,
this bit is set to 1, which allows the video
data to use the internal palette for output.
xxx1 1111 Register Index
These bits contain the index to the data
registers in the attribute controller.
