Subject: Re: PCPI soft video config

When you run programs in CP/M, like Turbo, Bawsic, Sweep, etc, they
want to do screen positioning and clearing, this is the SOFTWARE
section of the configuration.

The hardware configuration is the part that the card wants.  In
your case it is an Apple //e configuration.  If you were using a
Videx 80 column card, then you would be configuring your hardware
section for this card.

Your idea of putting in the "Turn mouse text off" sequence into the
screen refresh would be placed in the Hardware section.  Personally
I beleive that you are going the wrong route.  I suggest that you
find another person with a PCPI that has a different version of the
drivers and try them, that is how I (Yes, I did have your mouse text
trouble) solved my problem.  Now I have everything working great on
my PCPI, and I'm sure once you solve the problem, that when running
on a GS you will be so fast that keeping up will be fun.

If you have any comments about how the PCPI runs with the GS, please
tell me, I'm interested in a GS and I can't give up my CP/M...
