| Jan 28, 2023 at 3:18 | comment | added | Mazura | How they fit on a CRT (display) was poorly, because it's in VGA mode which is a given resolution. "From the monitor's side, there is no difference in input signal in a text mode and an All Points Addressable (APA) mode of the same size." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_text_mode | |

Inline the link so the text flows better.
