Now, correct me if I am wrong but these "256 registers" - what you
really mean is the first 256 bytes of RAM? Sounds like a bit of
sophistry to me - and, anyway, does not compare to the Z80s memory
transfer built ins - write your screen RAM in memory and - zap - load it
up when the *cough* monitor - oh alright then, B&W portable TV - is in
refresh
