set ah to 12h
set al to 0
set bl to 32h
invoke int86 10h
if the result is al == 12h, it is a VGA. If not...

ah/ 12h
bl/ 10h
invoke int86, 10h
if the result in bl is 10h, it is not an EGA. If it is less than 3,
it is a small EGA (less than 256K memory)
if bh comes back nonzero, it is not a color monitor.

I don't know how to ask for a CGA, but if it flunks these tests you could
just *assume* CGA.
