I am working on Kermit v2.1 currently and am considering adding a screen driver for the Data 20 XL-80 video card for the C-64 (now out of production, I believe). I have already added support for the Batteries Included BI-80 80 column card. In order to add a driver I will need some reference on the card. All I have is the card and the small blue instruction manual, which has very little programming info. Does anyone out there in netland have a better reference and/or experience with the card? I would appreciate any information any of you might have. Thanks. Ray

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do not have any further technical information on the Data 20 XL-80 video cartridge, but may I request help on same. I was able to buy this product at a very low price because FredRated Stores wanted to get rid of it (and lots of other stuff) in a hurry. Unfortunately, the tape containing the word processing program to be used with this cartridge seems to be damaged. It will not load. I have tried to load it with two different Datasets. Can anyone help me get a good copy of this program, either on disk (preferably) or tape? I don't think this would be a violation of law or ethics, since my copy is bad and the manufacturer is out of business. Besides, the software is useless without the cartridge, and you can't duplicate a cartridge so easily. Also, I notice that when I use 'get' in BASIC in the 80 column mode with this cartridge, a line-feed always results. Is that an inevitable byproduct of the 80 column cartridges's firmware? Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
