2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year. OS-9 Al (talk) 21:20, 15 March 2026 (EDT))

80 Column mode for Disk Edtasm+ with a CoCo3

This patch will autostart the Disk Edtasm program in a 80 column mode.

Load in the DOS/BAS program from the Edtasm disk. Add these two lines;

0 WIDTH80:PALETTE 0,63:ATTR 0,0:CLS1
2 REMEDTASM

Save the DOS/BAS program back to disk. Be sure you do this to your working copy, not your original disk.

The next time you run DOS/BAS, it will be 80 columns wide, black characters on a white screen. If you are running out of buffer space, edit line 2 to load EDTASMOV instead of EDTASM, gives a little extra room for editing. See my fuzzy screenshot below for a typical screen in this mode.
