Monochrome Video

  • VGA

  • need 307200 bits => 38400/0x9600 Bytes

  • 8K character memory

  • 1x 64K RAM

  • split in half

  • each half into page (0x0000 - 0x4AFF)

  • map character memory into top (0x6000 - 0x7FFF)

  • offset of 0x6000 into memory bus -> (0x6000 - 0xAAFF), (0xC000 - 0xDFFF)

Design

  • derive CS from bank register, leave LSB free -> wire to MSB of VRAM address
