OSBYTE &71 (113) - Select Main/Shadow for Display
On entry:
X=0 Use whatever memory the current screen MODE uses
X=1 Use main memory
X=2 Use shadow memory
On exit:
X=preserved
RISC OS:
The value of X can be greater than 2 as well, and instructs the video
hardware to use the bank at screenbase+(X*modesize)
This call specifies which bank of memory the Master video display hardware accesses. Using this and OSBYTE &70 a program can use the VDU to write to one bank of memory while the other is being displayed.
The setting is stored in the OSBYTE &FB variable.
