Re: A83: Two graphical problems to solve.
The delay necessary depends on the calculator. You may be interested
in looking at the Ion library source (ionf.z80). I use a minimum of 65
clocks (total, not the delay routine), but that seems to still be too fast
for some calculators.
And again, see ionf.z80. It certainly wouldn't be hard to port a TI-86
routine to the 83...
