The machine was primarily aimed at the home and educational markets, and it copied the IBM PCjr's 16-color graphics ( PCjr's graphics were an extension of CGA video ) and 3-voice sound, but didn't use the PCjr cartridge ports.

Even many video game consoles, such as the Sega Genesis, included expansion buses ; at least in the case of the Genesis, the expansion bus was proprietary, and in fact the cartridge slots of many cartridge based consoles ( not including the Atari 2600 ) would qualify as expansion buses, as they exposed both read and write capabilities of the system's internal bus.

in the USA ) is cartridge number 43 in the official Magnavox / Philips line of video games for the Philips Videopac.

The Amiga was one of the first home computers for which inexpensive sound sampling and video digitization accessories were available.

Due to needing two accesses to each chip instead of one, and the complications of the video hardware also needing access, reading or writing RAM was much slower than on the BBC Micro.

Tridgell was also a leader in hacking the TiVo to make it work in Australia, which uses the PAL video format.

The " dual boot mode " BIOS actually discovered whether a TRS-DOS, or Aster CP / M disk was placed in the drive, and would, depending on the type of disk, reorganise the internal memory architecture of the system, to either be 100 % TRS-80 compatible or optimally support CP / M, with as much " workspace " as possible, and the 80x25 video mode.

To enhance and modernize the Aster CT-80 the company also designed three alternative video display adapters to supplement or replace the TRS-80 compatible video card, ( due to the modular nature of the Aster it was simply a matter of changing the video card, and / or CPU card to upgrade the system ).

Because the characters were 8 x 12 pixels this meant that video resolutions of 512 x 192 pixels ( in 64x16 character mode ), or 640 x 300 pixels ( in 80x24 character mode ) were created, which was quite high for the time.

One nibble of such a byte then controlled the foreground color, and the other nibble controlled the background color, a system very similar to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, in fact in the 256x192 mode the display mode was virtually identical to the video of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

This video card would also support fast scrolling of high resolution color screens for games, because it had the indirection of the character pointers, so it was possible to quickly scroll the high resolution display, ( or use other effects ) by simply manipulating the 1920 / 1024 bytes of text video instead of the 24. 576 bytes of high resolution video memory.
