Videoterm is checked in.

After a fix to which page of the ROM is at Cn00, PR#3 works fine to enable the 80-column display and no special system disk is necessary.

CP/M appears to recognize the card but hangs on boot with it. Will investigate smile

r14985: CP/M now works in 80 columns on the II/II Plus with the VideoTerm in slot 3 and on the IIe with the built-in 80 column support. (Previously it wouldn't boot on the IIe at all).

Latest adds AE Phasor support for quad AY power in 1 slot. Ultima V supports it really nicely, like so.

Also some annoying stuck note problems with the Mockingboard were fixed.

That's a clear demonstration of how different Jef Raskin's vision of computing was from what became the Macintosh. The manual even bashes mouse-based interfaces.
