|    Porting AppleWorks to a hypothetical V99    |
|    21 Mar 24 21:14:20    |
      From: usotsuki@buric.co              So I've been working with the hypothetical "V9938 EZCGI" emulated in MAME       (-sl5 ezcgi9938), and it got me to thinking about the possibility of       hijacking the AppleWorks startup, much as with the VideoTerm, to make a       version that runs off the V9938 to use *its* 80x24 text mode, instead of       that of an 80-column card.              Obviously we know the VideoTerm was able to be used this way - and I       understand the code in question is located in APLWORKS.SYSTEM, so it's       going to be very much version-specific any way one cuts it.       Pragmatically, 2.1 is the latest version I'm willing to hack on. The       closest thing I have to documentation is an article in Apple Assembly       Line, but it's kind-of hazy, so I've been trying to reverse-engineer the       same 1.3 they worked from to try to come to a more complete understanding.       Theoretically, I can't imagine it requiring too much change - just new       pre-init code to set up the V9938 (which I have written and tested) and       a way to replace "place this value at this screen coordinate" with a 9938       equivalent?              -uso.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
