Only by selling VOCs I'd imagine :-)
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Another cool feature the VOC had was you could select the $E0 bank (or the main memory if it was in a IIe) instead.
I've been looking at that technote and saw that feature. That would
have been nice on a IIgs and would be very easy to do on the Carte Blanche.
This way you could have a "multi-head" IIgs, though I don't know that anyone ever tried to modify the toolbox routines to make this possible.
By "multi-head" do you mean two video outputs? If so, I have two video
outputs on the Carte Blanche (the original and my 12-bit color mod.) but
only the 12-bit is very useful with SHR. Hmm, I suppose I could squeeze
another 12-bit output in there.
It would be straightforward to make your video card VOC compatible if you're doing it on a Carte Blanche.
Yes, but I think I'll stick with just the IIgs features.
Right now I'm wondering if it's worth it to implement scan-line
interrupts.
