 *  for AT&T VDC overlay modes, BL contains the DEB mode, which may be 06h,
          40h, or 44h
 ** for ATI EGA Wonder, mode 08h is only valid if SMS.COM is loaded resident.
      SMS maps mode 08h to mode 27h if the byte at location 0040:0063 is 0B4h,
      otherwise to mode 23h, thus selecting the appropriate (monochrome or
      color) 132x25 character mode.
    for ATI VGA Wonder, mode 08h is the same, and only valid if VCONFIG loaded
      resident
 *** DESQview intercepts calls to change into these two modes (21h is page 0,
      22h is page 1) even if there is no Hercules graphics board installed
 *! ATI BIOS v4-1.00 has a text-scrolling bug in this mode

Notes:  IBM standard modes do not clear the screen if the high bit of AL is set
