BTW, I don't know how many of you are on google+, together with Ed Spittles I have a mos6502 fan page there with weekly posts. This week I posted about Steve's color PET this morning :-) https://plus.google.com/108984290462000253857/posts André >Gesendet: Freitag, 12.

So, for 80 column colour you are doubling it again to 32 bits. Four bytes are read at the same time. > >Dual-port ram is not needed because we don't have two separate un-syncronized read or write accesses to the same memory. The cpu and the crtc do not access ram at the same time, they access on alternate clock cycles. Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2013-04-12 15:00:04
