Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Geoff,

I don't know if I want it thrown on the wish list, but how difficult would an 80 or 100 column display be?

For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED.

Well, you already have 80 columns on a VGA display.

100 columns would be very hard. The video generator is already running as fast as it can so the only solution would be to use a narrow font which (without testing it) would probably be unreadable.

Ahh, I'm only running composite video and that's 50 columns, I assumed VGA would be the same. I'll give VGA a go.

Thanks,

Rob.
