Subject: micro decision
I think I know what they are refering to.
Morrow uses his own terminal (an adm-20) with the
micro decision. It tends to act like an adm31 with
the absolute cursor addressing reversed.
The adm-31 does an ESC = Y X to goto a position, while
morrows terminal does an ESC = X Y.
Morrow therefore has put a hack in the bios that checks for
ESC followed by '='. It then intercepts the next two characters
and reverses them.
I suspect that this is the protential incompatibility
problem. Worst case solution for the h19 is re-hacking
the BIOS supplied with the micro-decision.
