From the project

Extended firmware for the 6845 based video card for the Microprofessor MPF-I(b)

This repository contains the firmware versions for the Bardhele Electronic VIDEO-MPF-I card.

More info on my home page: https://www.electrickery.nl/comp/mpf1/index.html

VIO.zip are the hex dumps of the original ROMs that came with the card.

These are the most interesting entry addresses as of version 2.2:

* 0a004h: init 6845, clear screen, return from call

* 0a007h: init 6845, clear screen, jump to 0000h
