Int 10 Fn 7F00 - Sollex SuperVGA - Get Extensions Info [V]
AX = 7F00h
Return: AL <> 7Fh if not supported
AL = 7Fh if supported
AH = status
00h successful
ES:DI -> info structure (see below)
01h failed
Program: the SOLLEX (Smos videO controLLer EXtensions) SuperVGA functions are
an extension to the VESA SuperVGA BIOS Extensions (see AX=4F00h) by
Seiko Epson Corporation intended to provided a standardized interface
to SuperVGA functionality not addressed by the VESA standard
See Also: AX=4F00h
Format of info structure:
Offset Size Description
00h DWORD pointer to VESA function dispatch table
04h DWORD pointer to SOLLEX function dispatch table
08h DWORD pointer to VESA SuperVGA info (see AX=4F00h)
0Ch DWORD pointer to mode info structure table, consisting of
alternating ResInfo (see below) and VESA mode information
(see AX=4F01h) blocks, terminated with an FFFFh word
10h DWORD pointer to font info structure table (see below)
14h WORD high resolution crystal frequency in Hz (0000h = not present)
16h DWORD pointer to ASCIZ ID string
1Ah DWORD pointer to timeout reset table
array of bytes, each a multiple of the minimum time increment
1Eh WORD minimum time increment in timer ticks
20h BYTE inverse options supported
bit 0: inverse supported
bits 1-7: reserved
21h BYTE normal color value
22h BYTE inverse color value
23h WORD port to be accessed for normal/inverse settings
25h WORD type of interface chip (currently undefined)
27h WORD program operational mode
bits 1-0: 00 no preference
01 terse (minimum detail in program messages)
10 verbose
11 use menus if supported, verbose mode otherwise
bits 7-2: reserved
29h WORD SOLLEX specification version
2Bh WORD version of VESA/SOLLEX implementation
2Dh DWORD offset to relocatable portion of SOLLEX extensions (for CONFIG)
2Eh DWORD offset to unused section of the extensions ROM
31h 16 BYTEs reserved
Note: all DWORD pointers initially require segment fixups; if the segment
is 0000h, it should be changed to the returned ES, otherwise it
may be assumed to be correct
Format of ResInfo:
Offset Size Description
00h WORD 16-bit mode number
02h WORD adapter type (00h VGA, 01h EGA, 02h CGA, 03h MDA)

06h DWORD pointer to video parameter table
0Ah BYTE replacement entry in master Video Parameter
0Bh BYTE mode requested for mode set by BIOS
0Ch DWORD pointer to LoadReg table
10h BYTE index into table of clock values (see below)
Format of font info table [array] entry:
Offset Size Description
00h BYTE required font height
01h BYTE parameter to load text mode font
02h BYTE parameter to load graphics mode font
Values for clock value index:
00h 25 MHz
01h 28 MHz
02h PCLK
03h 31.5 MHz (VESA 640x480)
