Re: Carte Blanche 80 col

I think I already know the answer to this, but thought I'd ask
anyway.  Is there any way that the CB card can display 80 col on a VGA
on an Apple ][+ (with or without a Videx card)?  I'm guessing no
because if I understand correctly, the CB simply interprets the video
signals that are available on the apple //e.  For a ][+, it is handled
on a separate card with its own video output

Correct. It would have been a lot easier on the hardware side to make
something like a Videx 80 col card but a software driver would be needed. Of a perfect emulation of the existing card plus "borrowing" the firmware. Instead I used the 2e model so that a built-in driver could be used.
