Once upon a time long ago, I saw a reference to a file which would have the
answer to the question I'm about to ask, but I've lost the reference, so ...

How do you put a CGA (that's right, CGA) into its 16-color, low resolution
mode?  I assume it's just a matter of plugging the right values into the
CRTC and mode select registers, but what's the magic combination?

Also, what and where is the file I mentioned above?  It was a sort of
less-than-frequently-asked-questions-with-really-standard-answers file.

Thanks in advance.
