An interesting project for those that are interested in #RetroComputing and bitmapped video interfaces that don't use custom chips. This one provides a resolution of 400x256 or with an 8x8 font 50x32 text. It can even be modified for hardware scrolling and with a bit of switching logic switch between a character rom and bit mapped mode. Oh and it also just mirrors the systems own ram for reading and writing to it.
