It's the alpha blender setup register, and described as "the Imagine 3 blending unit", which sort of implies it didn't exist on Imagine 2. I'm pretty sure Imagine 1 and 2 didn't even have a triangle unit, let alone an alpha blender. > 2. Does the hardware by any chance map the VGA legacy I/O ports within > one of its BARs? It might. BAR 5 is the I/O map, and it's 256 bytes. They're all defined right up to 0xBC, which smells a little suspicious since the VGA ports it claims to decode are 3C[0-5ACEF] and 3[BD][45A]. So while it doesn't _say_ the VGA ports are aliased there starting at 0xC0, I'd be utterly unsurprised. I guess I don't see how it matters though, you can already get to the colormap and mode, and you won't be using VGA fonts. (Unless you do VGA console even on non-x86 machines? That would be vile.) - ajax
