for someone like me, i am interested more about the bitdepth that the
resolution. I recall there was a project of soldering additional VRAM on
the 2400c(there are 2 empty slot on the motherboard right next to the 2
VRAM chips). But because of ROM issues, the system won't take advantage of
the added video memory. I wonder if such an issue is patchable using
Forth.
Also is it possible to shrink the resolution in the current display to get
more color? Like the LC3 where you can change you resolution to 640x400 to
get more color
