Ken,
Because OMNIVIEW is in gr.8 it does use up about 6K more memory than a 40
column gr.0 screen. With Letter Perfect this means a 21K buffer instead
of 28K. The bit-3 board on the other hand has its own screen memory and does
not require any of the 6502's. In fact, some developers have put this
feature to good use by using the bit-3 output for debugger output while
simultaneously displaying graphics on the ATARI output.
