Ah, yes. I vaguely remember that. I remember it being tricky, too.

I would imagine 2MHz mode certainly makes a difference here. I don't know if NovaTerm runs the 8502 at that speed, but I would be surprised if it didn't. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- I may be underpaid, but I underwork just to make it even. ------------------
