Is not it time we talk about expanding
graphics capabilities Speccy, on tumblerochke Txt / Normal,
about vision - the health of a no amount of money can not buy,
about 80 characters per line, each 8x8
pixels, but with 16 colors?
It's time! The time is now!
Omega group proposes to discuss the project under
entitled "GENERAL VISION" (by analogy with
General Sound).
Shemka like already planned, to connect
will be through the system connector (address / data / signal
WRITE to the RAM and, maybe, signal BRAKING Z80 ").
No ports! And, therefore, no
conflicts with them.
Output rate of characters on the screen - tremendously. Judge
for yourself:
LD H, A SYMBOL
LD L, COLOUR
LD (ADDRESS), HL
That's it! Symbol on the screen!
The software revision of a little:
Is-DOS: write malyusenky drayverochik
and all!
Text editors for TR-DOS: a little
more difficult ... Instead, sub output character puts his
drayverochik and change the address routines "blinking cursor"
at the address in drayverochke. That's it!
Well, maybe that ZX-WORD'e will have to
correct block with myshoy, but I think
NORMAL 80 characters per line are those
improvements as well?
Cost: A PENNY! Given all the "marketing margins" - no more than
60-70 thousand
Connection: 3 to 5 minutes (depending on
Quality installation of your motherboard).
No revisions computer: everything is going on a separate board.
Well, the spirit is not exciting? If not,
then it was time to retire ... The eternal:)
All proposals / suggestions please send to the mailbox, and if
you do not have a modem, then call directly to the editors.
