Does anyone know if the location of the screen dump vector changed from tos 1.0
-> tos 1.2 -> tos 1.4 ?  In version 1.0 it is at $502...  If it did change, what
is the new location?

Thanks in advance,

David Koski

I've recently written a small screen dump tool for my NEC P6+ on my MEGA ST,
which has the blitter TOS (TOS 1.2), using scr_dump ($502). I tested it on a
TOS1.4-machine and it was running.

So all at all I can say:
The screen dump vector didn't changed (Maybe in TOS 1.6, but I don't think so).

This is a normal vector and should not have changed, should be still
be $502...
