That scroll speed needs to slow waaayyyy down. BBSing with a 14.4k modem was rarely that fast. If it was in the 80's, that'd probably make the common speed in the area of 2400 or 9600.
- tallanvor 14y agoAnd how many people would have had a color monitor back then?
- KC8ZKF 14y agoMany people had color monitors in the 1980s. For values of "monitors" that include television sets. The Commodore 64 and Vic 20 were color, as was the Tandy CoCo. Lots of others as well.
- aidenn0 14y agoI opted for a hercules monochrome that was higher resolution than the color alternatives.
- sixothree 14y agoFor PC connecting to monitor, CGA was introduced in 1981. I'd say by 1985, it was a very popular choice. Before that, many home computers that connected to television were already color.
- DanBC 14y agoEGA was introduced in 1984 too.
- jonny_eh 14y agoThe Apple II was colour, and that thing came out in the late 70s.
- peteri 14y agoFor home machines most of them would have been colour by 1982-3. My first paid for job was Turbo Pascal on a CGA PC in 1984 so it was pretty wide spread.
- jaysonelliot 14y agoI had (still have, actually) an Amdek Color-I Plus on my Apple //e. It was relatively common at the time.
- Natsu 14y agoI had an Apple ][ GS back then. Actually, I still have an 8088 with a color monitor and such, but I haven't got it set up, so I'm not even sure if it still works.
- bcl 14y agoThe training sequence sounds like 56k to me ;)
- Sami_Lehtinen 14y agoYes, it did. Did you forget that there were two different 56k standards and those did sound different when negotiating. 56k Flex versus v.90. Negotiation sounded really different depending from standard.
