DDFSTRT

         These registers control the horizontal timing of the beginning
         and end of the bit plane DMA timing display data fetch.
         The vertical bit plane DMA timing is identical to the display
         windows described above.
         The bit plane Modulos are dependent on the bit plane
         horizontal size, and on this data fetch window size.

Register bit assignment -----------------------
BIT# 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 USE XX X X X X X X H8 H7 H6 H5 H4 H3 H2 X (X bits should always be driven with 0 to maintain upward compatability)
The tables below show the start and stop timing for different register contents
DDFSTRT (Left edge of display data fetch) +------------------+----+----+----+----+----+ | PURPOSE | H8 | H7 | H6 | H5 | H4 | +------------------+----+----+----+----+----+ | Extra wide (max) | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | | | | | | | wide | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | | | | | | | | normal | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | | | | | | | | narrow | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +------------------+----+----+----+----+----+

Note that these numbers will vary with variable beam counter mode set: (The maxes and mins, that is)
