Strictly speaking PR#3 does not call $C300. All it does is place $C300 in the
character output vector. The first character that is output after the PR#3
command will cause a JSR to $C300 (the init entry point to the 80 col card
firmware). The 80 col firmware will then change the output vector to point to
$C307 (BASICOUT) and the input vector to $C305 (BASICIN).
