Another option would be a vector of 256 16 bit entries and keeping the pointer advance vector as you suggested.


That would work, the only problem in either solution is double-writing 8 of the 16 bits on sequential ASCII characters. Might give it a try.


That shouldn't be a problem, they all go to the store buffer of the CPU, which should be able to handle 1 write/cycle.
