Bits 3-0: When set to 1, these bits enable the system
access to the corresponding map. If all maps are enabled,
the system can write its 8-bit value to all four maps in
a single memory cycle. This substantialy reduces the system
overhead during display updates in graphics modes.
Data scrolling operations can be enhanced by enabling all
maps and writing the display the display buffer address
with the data stored in the system latches. This is a
Read-Modify-Write operation.
When odd/even modes are selected, maps 0 and 1 anf maps
2 and 3 should have the same map mask value.
When chain 4 mode is selected, all maps should be enabled.
