  The ROM BIOS video services are all requested by generating interrupt 10H
  (decimal 16). There are 25 principal services available under this
  interrupt. (See Figure 9-1.) Like all other ROM BIOS services, the video
  services are numbered from 00H and are selected by placing the service
  number in the AH register. The services usually require you to specify
  additional parameters in register AL, BX, CX, or DX. We'll cover the
  purpose and placement of the parameters under each service description.
