VESA OEM Extensions - Matrox Millenium (BIOS v2.1)

AX = 4F14h
BL = function
00h installation check / get capabilities
ES:DI -> 256-byte buffer for Matrox-specific information
(see #00125)

Return:
ES:DI buffer filled 01h read/write MGA indexed data register BH = direction (00h = write, else read) CL = register number (80h for most-recently used register) CH = new value, if writing

Return:
CH = current value, if reading 02h read/write register in MGA control space BH = direction and size

bit 4:
Read register instead of writing

bits 1-0:
Data size (00 = BYTE, 01 = WORD, 10 = DWORD) SI = register address CL/CX/ECX = new value if writing

Return:
CL/CX/ECX = current value if reading 03h read PINS byte SI = offset of byte within PINS data (see #00126)

Return:
CL = value of specified PINS byte 04h ??? (related to PLL programming) DX = ???

Return:
CL,EDX destroyed 05h read BIOS byte SI = offset of byte relative to start of BIOS image

Return:
CL = specified byte else

Return:
AX = FFFFh

Return:
AL = 4Fh if function supported AH = status 00h successful 01h failed
