One (maybe stupid) question: Is it possible to place the high res color map
under the i/o area, and if so, how is this done? The current grlib allows for
two graphics pages:

  1. High res screen at $E000 with color RAM at $CC00

  2. High res screen at $A000 with color RAM at $8C00

Two pages are nice but they eat way too much RAM, so I'm thinking of removing
the support for the second page. If it would be possible to place the high res
color RAM below the i/o area, having full high res graphics would need no
additional RAM at all!

Or are there any serious objections against removing the second video page?

Regards


        Uz
