Dear Mitch, I hope, when you said I was very funny, you weren't being sarcastic. If so, don't tell me because I think I do have a wit, tho Rick tells me I'm only half right. As to the book, almost any book on the 80-series should have the assembly language commands you want, but only the 8085 will have the machine language hex numbers (code) for the MDL 100/102 etc. Don't blow your hard earned cash on the book, look to the library and xerox. Or keep watching here and one of us may upload the garbage we call machine and assembly language for the 80c85. As to the resolution constraints of the MDL 100/102/200; we're talking 240 dots to a horizontal line. At 40-characters that's 5 dots per character + one space so they don't run together. AT 60 characters, that's 3 dots and one space..... the characters start looking real crummy. Your TV screen, even a 2-inch TV screen that's using a CRT, has a resolution of 400-dots per horizontal line, easily, and about the same to a vertical line.... at that resolution, you can read more characters per line..... AND, if we're talking higher definition screen we can get some 600 to 1000 dots per line (in color, each dot is actually 3, Red, Green & Blue dots, so you can fudge and get even more read-ability for human eyes. Hope this answers more questions than you ever expected, -dB
