Thanks to Darkn1883r for improving the element selector and the Multiplexer into a new chip. ROM designs: CRAY flipflop and binary counter designs by G-linuxorU. Switches by jklujm. v91.0 update 3/8/16. New PSTN allow for updates to ROM and Print head

    @ivel. BIT 0 on the very left is the ROM's clock pulse. it keeps the ROM running. when it does not fire the ROM stops. BIT 0 also runs the brown bray on the print head. the next, BIT 1, tells the print head to move up one line. the 2 last bits on the very right are currently unused.

    Yo lizard, what do the 2 bits on either side of the ROM do, I'm pretty sure you just explained it to someone else... Sorry about being stupid lol... @-p21, /)

    WOW!! thanks everyone. @P-21. the old ROM bands are partially compatible. the graphics part is exactly the same, so is BIT 0 and BIT 1. the colors and elements will have to be reprogrammed manually. ANYONE who programs a function ROM band will be put into the ROM band save and I will partition the screen for both printers. Come on folks help me make this AWESOME for the community!!

    Is/will there be any sort of conversion table to update old ROM bands for this?

    yes there's a very extensive & user-friendly tutorial on how to use the device. something that would translate creations into code for this thing would be.. slow and ridiculously complex though so i wouldn't count on that. ;)

    @explosivepowder, sorry to break it to you, but this is about as simple as it could possibly be. Unless Sandwichlizard creates a printer that prints code for this printer and has a user-friendly input system... Next project, maybe?? *wink wink*

    Also thanks for the comprehensive guide. Now I'm not so scared to make a program myself.
