Hi,

I have a Color Computer 3 with a Tandy RGB monitor.
When I turn it on now I don't see any thing except the blank 32 column 
screen,
but when I start the computer with a game pak in I can play the game and I 
see
all the graphics. Could someone explain how the computer puts text on the 
text screen?

Does it read a rom character in pixels inside the rom chip and put the 
pixels on the text screen?
Could someone send me or direct me to a complete list of all the text screen 
modes and the
graphic screen modes in the Color Computer 3?

Thanks in advance

axle
