Default Re: Mk14 vdu

This VDU project has been one of the most difficult but simultaneously one of the most pleasurable that I have ever taken on. Normally, I set the spec.s of the things I build, but in this case the spec. is already defined and that makes for a much more difficult task. I couldn't do this without the help and feedback of my friends on this forum.

I lay awake last night, and I think I've found a way to implement graphics without changing baud rates. I'm finally embracing something that was hinted at earlier (probably by someone else): implement graphics as a special kind of character font.

When I did finally fall asleep, the project acquired a bank of 8 cathode followers. Don't ask me what that's all about...
