On the original IBM PC’s color display, writing to the video RAM at any time other than during the CRT beam’s vertical retrace caused ugly spots to appear all over the screen. A screen image is 25 by 80 characters, each of which fits in a box 8 pixels by 8 pixels. Each row of 640 pixels is. drawn on a single horizontal scan of the beam, which takes 63.6 µsec, including the horizontal retrace. The screen is redrawn 60 times a second, each of which requires a vertical retrace period to get the beam back to the top. What fraction of the time is the video RAM available for writing in?
