Hi Mike, Actually, adding graphics would have to be done via some method other than PSET / PRESET. These ROM functions work directly with the LCD drivers and don't even go through RST hooks to intercept. So they can ONLY output to the internal LCD. Adding any type of graphics to a modern

Has anyone dis-assembled the DVI disk basic previously? The DVI boot disk contents are available and interesting. Or recommend an 8085 or Z80 dis-assembler? The DVI uses a Z80 clone so some of the boot disk is Z80 DOS code. It was quite a clever design for its day very flexible should
