You are absolutely right Luis.
That's why I'm still looking for a better solution than the GBS board.
Alas, my construction years have gone a long time ago, must buy something
that is ready to use. The GBS board for OS-9 80 column text display
isn't excellent, but satisfactory with an LCD monitor.
BTW, you are creating an amazing product!
