Videx VideoTerm

Videx VideoTerm is an 80-column text card for the Apple ][ and ][+. It belongs in slot 3 only. It is not valid on IIe or IIgs platforms (those machines have their own 80-column hardware).

GSSquared renders Videx text with the monochrome display engine.

How to enable it

In the config editor

  1. Open + or Edit… from System Select.
  2. Choose Apple ][ or Apple ][+.
  3. Click slot 3 and pick Videx.
  4. Save and launch.

Using it

Boot software that talks to the Videx card (or switch the guest into 80-column mode the way that title expects). Use Display → Monitor → Monochrome (green / amber / white) for a typical VideoTerm look. F2 cycles display engines.
