NAME rev ADDR type chip Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLTCON0 040 W A Blitter control register 0
BLTCON0L H 05A W A Blitter control register 0 (lower 8 bits)
This is to speed up software - the upper bits are
often the same.
BLTCON1 h 042 W A Blitter control register 1
These two control registers are used together to control blitter
operations. There are 2 basic modes, are and line, which are
selected by bit 0 of BLTCON1, as show below.

ASH3-0 Shift value of A source
BSH3-0 Shift value of B source and line texture
USEA Mode control bit to use source A
USEB Mode control bit to use source B
USEC Mode control bit to use source C
USED Mode control bit to use destination D
LF7-0 Logic function minterm select lines
EFE Exclusive fill enable
IFE Inclusive fill enable
FCI Fill carry input
DESC Descending (dec address)control bit
LINE Line mode control bit
SIGN Line draw sign flag
OVF Line/draw r/l word overflow flag
SUD Line draw, Sometimes up or down (=AUD)
SUL Line draw, Sometimes up or left
AUL Line draw, Always up or left
SING line draw, Single bit per horiz line
DOFF Disables the D output- for external ALUs
The cycle occurs normally, but the data
bus is tristate (hires chips only)
