You didn't say if you are working under CP/M or LDOS. What are you trying to do? Do you want to add the 25th line for CP/M? Are you trying to get a 25 line driver for LDOS, instead of the 16 lines it comes with? Are you trying to emulate a terminal? Under CP/M there are 24 lines, the hardware programing would have to be changed to get a 25th line. Under LDOS, the hardware programing has to be changed to get more than 18 lines. In either case, there is a lot of hacking to do. If you want a good terminal program under LDOS, Logical Systems has a new program out which emulates an ADDS terminal and supports the "MODEM" protocal, and other goodies. It looks like a very good piece of software, but it cost a couple hundrerd bucks. Also note that you will need a good monitor to display a 25th line. The Amdek monitors work fine, but I tried a 25 line display on a Gorrila and got a lot of flicker. In any case, it is possible, since I have done it. But it is a lot of work. Good luck.

It's for CP/M, but any video generation (configuration or otherwise)
software would be appreciated.
Also, what do you people out there know of the new transportable
Model IV? I own a Max80, and have problems moving this machine
around when I go from place to place. The model IV "T" (for
tranportable) seems to be pretty nice for this, and I would like
to hear about it. What are the keyboard, disk drives, and monitor like?
