At least 80 chars of 66 lines? I have seen them advertized as bit mapped terms with graphics etc. attached to various systems but have not seen one offered as a peripheral for sale without buying the system. Is there any reason that the 24 or 25 line standard is holding on so strongly? (CRT raster scan limitations, Slow RAM, too many bytes after adding visual attributes) Seems that LSI should be breaking old, strange standards.
