So you want a ROM with TS-DOS, T-WORD, ROMView 80 for VT-100 and ANSI emulations that paint the IBM character set. TS-DOS consumes appx 7K, leaving 25K for the rest. I think T-WORD alone might gobble most of what remains - but I've not yet looked into T-WORD (just guestimating from its features). Think it's too much to hope for Rick. The IBM character set may consume a lot to paint the screen. I see where the appeal is: 80-wide, VT-100 w/IBM chars, TS-DOS - yep - Internet cruisin' with the Model-T and a PDD for download storage. I don't get where T-WORD belongs in this mix. Of course new ROMware, not existing products, might get you modest functionality on one 32K ROM. Say 1.5K for disk I/O, 20K for 60-wide LCD including painting IBM characters, and what's left over for VT-100 and ANSI emulations - might fit.
