I've finally finished the more interesting parts of the text screen peripheral I'd been building for several months for R16K1S60. *** Update: Fixed TEST, see main save ***

Yes, I remember when you started this. Also, my apologies if I continue pointing out parts; this is very fascinating. And for those interested they might be able to decode what I'm talking about... Circuitry to the left appears to be a ROM storing the font with the output FILT at [563, 163] copying to [271, 163] which tells the glyph writer what to draw. Plus input protocol decoder at [518, 166] and an "auto incrementer" for address selection below it.

@gaysanta: I'll update the save when I get the forum thread done.

@gaysanta: Oops. Fixing that now. I've been taught UK English but the word "color" always gets me one way or another.

COAL column selectors at [333, 216] and the ingenious DRAY tmp2 row selector at [273, 88]; how to magically get DRAY at the head of a PSTN to copy a glyph to any position on the screen. DRAYs at [299, 128] resets the glyph contents of the PSTN head. Fill backdrop colour relay at [264,246] and associated copy up circuitry for scrolling.

@Schmolendevice: Thanks, yeah, all those PSTNs ... I built this around January (history:1916532, it's also in our long PM session), it was around that time that I realized that I basically built your demuxer :P

Utterly fantastic, apart from the spelling of 'coloured' ;)

My goodness, that is an ingenious contraption. It originally looked bewildering, but after some examination I can see the ingenious system you set up with your "current frame FILT DMUXs" in controlling CRAY and DRAY as well as how you build each glyph at [273, 165]. 60 Hz PSTN does wonders. The cleverly set up glyph writing PSTN head with external conductor updating. Also the very "pretty" colour selectors at [268, 68] and [268, 134]. Very clever 60 Hz "deco selector."

@LBPHacker, make a keyboard, and I'll write a DOS-like OS for it :D

Somebody should try to make a TPT equivalant to a USB 3.1 Type C connector. it would be interesting
