Well spoken. That's exactly how I feel. I have mailed them twice, the latest
time asking them to just tell me the format and address of the screen so I
could emulate the TI92 on my amiga and code something there while waiting
for Fargo, but I have gotten no answer yet...
So I just assume the screen is the same format as the screendumps; Just
30x128 bytes in one bitplane (BTW I have made a screendump-reader/viewer
on my Amiga for the $4-parallel cable, if anyone's interested).
