[A83] Re: Shading (OT fastcopy)




In my opinion, a better way would to use bit 1 of port 2. This will be zero
if the LCD driver is busy, and nonzero if it's ready...So you could loop:
I'm not sure if the loop overhead would be better or worse, but this would
let you wait the exact delay that's needed and no longer.

lcdbusy:
    in a,(02h)
    and 02h
    jr z,lcdbusy
