What really sucked was the 32 column screen. I never
bought one of the
many 80 column cards, they were all serial based. Only useful under
OS-9.
"Serial based"? The one I bought, the PBJ Word-Pak (sp?) didn't have
anything to do with serial. It had a 6845 (or maybe a 68045 or 6545,
I don't recall exactly) right on the bus.
They may have had some hack to use it from BASIC, but I only ran OS-9
anyhow.
