RE: commodore 8000 character size on screen (rectangular or squarre)

Many thanks 

It's not the easiest to implement (due to timing) but the result will be really nice.

I'll also try to implement the 512x256 graphic mode from the commodore graphic board
But I don’t have enough memory on the propeller to implement 512x512

I developed on a commodore 8000 for almost 5 years, but I rarely saw the 40 cols version...

Thanks

 From my recollection (I used a 4032 and a 8032 back then), the characters on the 4032 are square and on the 8032 they are rectangular.

 From the way I remember it looks, I'd say they just doubled the pixel clock (and of course the memory access on the screen RAM) on the 8032 compared to the 4032.
