[Coco] Assembly GIME programming...

[Roger Merchberger]

Does anyone here know how to program the GIME from Assembly *without* using 
ROM routines?

Right now, I have 2 proggies:

1) Uses the ROM routine to pop in 80-column mode, I can map in $6C000 
-$6DFFF into the $4000-$5FFF bank, and put text on the screen...

2) I have a program that can create 80-column mode without using the ROM 
routine, but the video memory isn't set where it should be; as a matter of 
fact, by default it *looks* like it may be set to $70000 as I can see some 
text from the 32x16 screen displayed on the 80-column screen, and 2 
characters were "rolling" on their own like it might've been a BASIC 
counter memory location [[ TIMER ?? ]] continuously incrementing.

I thought I saw *somewhere* how to program the GIME to set the start of 
80-column video memory, but either I was hallucinating or I can't place it 
right now.

Anyone have any pointers, code samples, websites, etc. that might help me out?

Thanks,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
