This approach was first used by Apple on the Disk /// drives.I also have another problem. My old MVP-Forth for the Apple II has an editor that enables 80 col mode after checking some soft switches. On the Platinum, it turns on the 80 col mode but characters appear every other column, but no missing characters! Editor don't work too good thata way, uh hu.
Sounds like it's just using the 40-column text pages with 80-columns enabled. This could happen if it uses the softswitches to turn on 80- column mode but doesn't init the 80-column firmware.
I'll have to check details on this again as well. I have the meta-compiler for the system (since I wrote it) and can easily make changes and generate a fresh system once I know what is wrong.
