What really

under OS-9.
Eh? The 80 column modules I read about (I never had one) contained a
6845 CTRC, RAM, and a bit of logic. Nothing to do with a serial port.
Just BTW, in
case anyone is interested in the "inner workings" of the 6845,
DP8350, 8275, 6545 or 5027 CRTCs, I've got a copy of Gerry Kane's "CRT
Controller Handbook" here. Anyone got a copy of the book mentioned on the
front cover, "An Introduction to Microcomputers: Volume 3 - Some Real
Support Devices"?
Also, has anyone got a timing diagram of the sync signal a Microvitec Cub
653 (as used with the BBC Micro) requires or a BBC Micro generates? I'm
specifically interested in the pulse width of the Hsync and Vsync parts of
the Csync signal and the high pulse width (visible area).
Thanks.
