Textmode mem address... &hB800? 1

[CubeE101]

I used to know this but it has been a few years...
What is the Address in memory for the text screen mode 0
(SCREEN 13 is &hA000)
I keep wanting to say &hB800 but I am not sure...
Thanks in Advance for any feedback. Sometimes... the BASIC things in life are the best...

or at least the most fun ;-)

Also I forgot the exact format for the data going into the buffer...

you need a byte for the character (0-255)... but how is the color stored again(0-15)?...(and 16-31 flashing?)

Does each Character Require 2 bytes? Sometimes... the BASIC things in life are the best...

Yes, textmode buffer is at &HB800
Each char is 2 bytes, first one is the char and second is the arrtibute.

The attributes are 128 * flash + 16 * background + foreground.

background is 0 to 7 and foreground 0 to 15 Antoni
