Very cool.

Kind of? It's the alpha blender setup register, and described as "the
Imagine 3 blending unit", which sort of implies it didn't exist on
Imagine 2. I'm pretty sure Imagine 1 and 2 didn't even have a triangle
unit, let alone an alpha blender.

It might. BAR 5 is the I/O map, and it's 256 bytes. They're all
defined right up to 0xBC, which smells a little suspicious since the VGA
ports it claims to decode are 3C[0-5ACEF] and 3[BD][45A]. So while it
doesn't _say_ the VGA ports are aliased there starting at 0xC0, I'd be
utterly unsurprised.
I guess I don't see how it matters though, you can already get to the
colormap and mode, and you won't be using VGA fonts. (Unless you do VGA
console even on non-x86 machines? That would be vile.)
