- This note is from Ward Christensen.
-
- Here is some documentation which will be useful to VDM,
- VTI, Flashwriter, or other memory-mapped or 16 line
- video displays: It modifies the "P" command to scroll
- 15 lines instead of 23:
-
- for 1.3 ED:
-
- AC95 MVI M,F F=15, SETS NEW LINE COUNT
-
- FOR 1.4 ED:
-
- A161B LXI H,F
-
- in either case, do as follows: Either SID or DDT ED.COM,
- noting how high in memory it went (NEXT value) so you will
- know how much to save later. Then do an L command at the
- appropriate address (C95 or 161B), verifying that the
- instruction there is either an MVI M or LXI H, with the
- previous value (I believe it was 17H). Then patch in the
- new instruction. Control-C to re-boot, then save nn EDVDM.COM.
- Use this several times to be certain it is ok, then
- ERA ED.COM and REN ED.COM=EDVDM.COM.
