Subject: Re: Teletext documentation
I should have a few versions of the morley adapter instructions around
somewhere. I found the circuit for it last night along with the Care
master copy cartridge instructions (or at leaset an early listing of
the code with a draft of the instructions). The support ROM was
originally the main teletext ROM until the BBC started playing silly
games by finding every single part of the RTF specs we hadn't
implemented properly - in the end we had to pay for an 'official' ROM
to be written by Graham Bartram to handle the telesoftware and force
the adapter to 'look' like an Acorn :). The original ROM was kept as
the support ROM as it had many extra *commands and features.
