 | | The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), introduced in 1981, was IBM's first color graphics card (originally sold under the name "Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter"), and the first color computer display standard for the IBM PC. |
 | | In graphics modes, text output by the BIOS used two separate tables: The first half of the character set (128 characters) was supplied by a table in the BIOS at F000:FA6E, and the second half was supplied by the location pointed to by interrupt 1F (0000:007C). |
 | | In 320×200 graphics mode, the background color, which defaulted to fl on mode initialization, could be changed to any of the other 15 colors of the CGA palette. |
