Dear graphics controller, there is a nice pixmap in main memory at
0xD0A13C30, its 64x64 pixels square and in RGB888 format, please map it
to the 8bit mode colours you are in and dither if neccessary. If you'd be
kind enough to post me an interrupt when you've finished I'd be greatful

Yours
The processor
