This is why I didn't prioritise it, no-one seemed keen to use it... Anyway its on the list and I'll get around to it after the big cpu/firmware rework. foft

I propose using the same bit of Sophia for hi-res mode colour too:
bit4 PMCTL controls additional color in hi-res mode.

0 - 1 color, 2 luminances (default)
1 - 2 colors foft

Thanks, exciting to see it on-display at a show. foft

Actually I agree it would be cool.
So, if I fix the hardware, any hands up for an E: driver? So we can run existing software in 80 col mode with 4.5 colours?

I can, but it doesn't work properly yet!
The register is 559, the shadow for DMACTL.
Normally its poke 559,0 to turn the screen off and poke 559,34 to turn it on. Which is the sum of 2 (normal width) and 32 (playfield dma on).

Not much. Had some back issues after my holidays and generally not been very motivated with this project recently. It was always unlikely to develop at the same pace as when the new boards were made though, that was pretty unsustainable ... foft
