The display is capable of 85 characters by 31 lines, but we use multiple windows, each containing 80 by 24 characters. The 256K of ROM you speak of contains only the kernel. The trick was not compressing the kernel calls to fit, but in compressing our drivers. The 3.5" disc holds approximately 700k of data. Our OS does not swap processes, so lack of a hard disc is not a problem. We do have a RAM disc that can be loaded with frequently used files for faster access. Hard discs are available in sizes from 15 Meg to 55 Meg. They attach to the built-in HPIB interface in the back of the machine.
