- It sounds like to me that your mother in law does now have the inverse
- video chip. Take a look at videoTerm card you should notice that there is
- one empty socket...

- Given that Videx has long abandoned apple // market and that VideoTerm has
- not been in production for years, I don't know where you can get the inverse
- video chip. Most of the "//+" 80 column cards sold through mail order today
- are VideoTerm clones, but I'm skeptical that those places would sell the
- inverse video chip alone...
