C128 Anniversary Video ONLINE

[Louis Dias]

To think I used to code that sucker in assembly using the built-in machine language monitor...

Lord knows I've forgotten more things than most will ever know...

[Louis Dias]

yeah, I still got my 'D'.
I had written an 80 column mode drawing program that used assembly routines to draw the graphics.

I had a series of pokes that turned it into 80x50 but sharp, not fuzzy.  Settings were specific to what monitor you use.  I have (still do) a Magnavox that was 128 compatible, it has a composite cable and the RGB TTL cable.

Ah the memories...

I actually had my 128D through college from 89-92.  I used it and a serial cable that connected to the school's mainframes via a serial connection that was in every dorm room.  It was 9600 baud and I was on the internet before the 'World Wide Web' via the school system.

Many a good looking girl would spend time in my room typing papers...ah the good old days...
