/* DISPTMG */
1. The function of these I/O ports is dependant on the CRTC type
2. If The CRTC is not connected to the CPU's RD and WR pins, so the CRTC is not aware of the CPU bus I/O direction. Therefore, if you perform an IN instruction to the select or write functions , it will write data to the CRTC from the current data on the bus.
==Addressing==
== DISPTMG ==
DISPTMG signal defines the border. When DISPTMG is "1" the border colour is output by the Gate-Array to the display. The DISPTMG can be forced using R8 (DISPTMG Skew) on type 0,3 and 4 or by setting R6=0 on type 1. It is not possible to force the DISPTMG on type 2.
The border has higher priority than pixels but lower priority than the black colour output when HSYNC/VSYNC are active.

'''Notes'''
 
* The CRTC is not connected to the CPU's RD and WR pins, so the CRTC is not aware of the CPU bus I/O direction. Therefore, if a read instruction is used on a write register of the CRTC, then a data is sent to the CRTC.
* On types 0 and 1, if a Write Only register is read from, "0" is returned.
