There is a difference between what is possible with artifact colors vs. intent of the supported mode. If you fill an area with a solid color in...

Thanks very much. It was a great project to do. I have several S100 crates, but they all have something in them -- an 8800b, an IMSAI, a TEI...

Tandy when the other way and turned a computer into a terminal.

It looks like the motherboard has +5v, -5v, +12 and -12, so I'm guessing the board would have a regulator to drop to -9v. I will explore ot once it...

Care to elaborate any on those choices?
