Nice!
Nice mod! I told always that 64 compatibility was wrong step of Commodore... I take look at if I'll be able to do it!

I know that's by attribute, but Q is how generates VDC reverse character?

Hi boys! Perfect to know. Only one not understand: Own routine allows text mode or graphic emulating text? TUI or TGUI? True text mode by PRINT vector in the zero page? What a vector it is? TUI works with 128 Editor, writting own 80 Editor meaning where it gets reverse characters? TGUI is other, 16K VDC not available, easy usable so many fonts/characters how are available in VDC RAM... Also easy of use more than 4bit attributes This system uses text output of The Ace Old look, new look works in true GUI...
So finally Q: Allows 4 charsets true text mode? If how? Really don't understand correctly.

Of course Robert, no everybody uses 128's secondary color RAM... it's not so known. But really looking what could to do attributes if they could be available, like VDC. Only one attribute featuring VDC is useless - reverse. Mean I correctly that's only 'cause 128 Editor - common with VIC and VDC?

Hi!
I can't understand why are in VIC2/VIC2E high nibbles unused. Why designers forgot this. For example use: - mixing colors to use 256 colors - 4 bits each for attribute like VDC (flash, underline, reverse, alternate) It could allow VIC to use 2 fonts in one screen, minimally flash 'cause underline attribute is harder to implement and reverse attribute is also in case of VDC forgotten... Reverse attribute is used in come Commodore computer and allows to use true 256 characters font - no reverse part needed and freeing it 128 new chars... My Q is not about why is it forgotten.
When user fills color RAM for example with byte $01 it overrides it and can be F1, 01, 71 etc.
Is possible to get control of these 4 bits (high nibble)?
If it can be possible it opens new door to programming VIC2 or VIC2E.
Thank you for all suggestions and ideas.

When I purchased Comet64 I got also 5,25" diskette with V1541 - written for Commodore 64... So, again is Commodore 128 forgotten. I'm looking to Flyer...

Hi!
My maybe stupid idea is adding to my program C128 SYSTEM INFORMATION recognizing between C128, C128D and C128DCR. Check between 128/128D and DCR is easy by reading VDC revision - DCR has MOS 8568 VDC instead 8563 - they're not interchangeable so is not possible to exchange it. And also hardware is other than 128 or 128D... But problem is checking between 128 and 128D. You maybe read thread about checking D/DCR 1571's CPU...
If I try to check KERNAL it's not enough - KERNAL can be replaced for example by JiffyDOS.
So, Q is: How to check between 128 and 128D?
Thanks to everybody who has idea and want to share it.

I'm owner of Comet64, but really when I tried to be online, never, really never it was succesfull. I have it only connected to my DCR...
