Increasing the address by one is equivalent to
moving one dot to the bottom on the screen (still
controlling eight horizontal dots).
There are 512 horizontal lines within a column.
The lower 9 bits of the 16-bit refresh memory
address determine 1 of the possible 512 lines.
The next 6 bits (A09-A14) of the refresh memory
address select 1 of the 64 vertical columns (each
column is 8 bits, or dots, wide).
Increasing the
column address by one is equivalent to selecting
the next column to the right.
Each address uniquely selects a group or set of 8 bits
(dots).
Selection of a bit or bits within this group is
accomplished by data manipulation.
For example, write a 1 and then a 0 in the screen position
located 21 dots to the right and 9 dots below the upper
left corner dot (figure 4-18).
Do not modify any other
data on the screen.
