One other problem that you may need to address:  when the display
reaches the bottom of the screen and the last character causes
a scroll-up, the time taken for the scroll will cause an input
character or two to be missed if the data rate is above a pretty
low threshold.



The idea is that it will ultimately be running at 300 baud.

To use an 80col card (fitted in slot #3) I just issue PR#3, yes?
Are there any cursor controls I should know about? Or some other
initialisation that has to happen?


PR#3 should do it.  Scrolling performance for some 80-column cards
is even worse than 40-column mode, since there are twice as many
bytes to move, and sometimes I/O registers to use for indirection.


Many thanks. Sorry for the daft questions.


Not daft at all--good luck getting your terminal running!  ;-)
