Hello everyone,
I've done a Explorer search (screen, saver, screen saver) through the source code for v2.9.0 but could not find anything relating to the screen saver. It's interesting, while higher versions have source code (in SPIN) for the ParPortProp firmware, there is none (no Prop folder) for v2.9.0. For this version was ParPortProp firmware programming done in ASM?
The screen saver is So-o-o annoying. Can someone help me disable it?

The code below is what I found. I'm not SPIN language literate but I found that commenting out "dsp.VidOn" in two places stops the screen saver from activating.

Now if I could only find a USABLE TEXT EDITOR for CPM and this Zeta2 SBC other than "ED" (sick) or ZDE that allows keyboard keys like "HOME" "END" "PGUP" "PGDN" "DEL" (to erase character to the right) "BACKSPACE" (to move cursor to the left and do a delete), I'd be a happy man. Ctrl+K+S and other such permutations, even with a pop-up help menu, try my patience. I don't remember having these complaints when I had my Heathkit H8 computer using cassette based programs. But that was 40 years ago. You think I've become inpatient in my old age?
