ZX Spectrum ScreenHello folks! I know, that ZX Spectrum has character resolution 32x24. And you can't write with PRINT AT command to last two lines. But, I know that…
Or, "POKE 23659,0" to make the bottom screen area 0 lines instead of 2, and continue to normally write to lines 22 and 23.
Make sure to "POKE 23659,2" before returning to BASIC, though, or the machine will crash. -
