What does the Attribute Controller's Color Plane Enable register (index 0x12) do during text modes? What effect does it have to switch plane 0/1/2 off (set bit 0/1/2 to 0)? Just blanking the characters if they're missing (plane0=character 0=blank, plane1=attribute 0=black), plane 2=No foreground=Black?
Anyone knows what this affects during text mode? Does it need to be set to 0x?7/0x?F in order for output to appear at all (not taking Pallette #0 all the time)?
