	Everything that I tried led me to believe the same thing.  Let me
know when you get that manual, I have a few questions I could really use the
answers to.

	Absolutly!  That's why I had him get the thing.  The Apple was the
first computer that I was exposed to.  Learned more about assembly and
graphics on that machine than any other.  (Newer machines have lots of
hardware to make things easy, but doing things on the Apple forced me to
learn more because I didn't get anything if I didn't!) BTW  I guess there
were different versions of the card.  In one of the software manuals, they
mention Videx cards w/ and w/o inverse roms.  Mine will show inverse text,
guess I have the inverse roms.  :-)  Now enough of this stuff, where is that
damm BOLO disk...
