Actually, newcon: will probably be easy to patch, where the _current_ con:
window code is buried I know not where in the system, at this point. I
dunno how much you'll be losing – the WB screen is only two planes deep,
_and_ it's a 200 line screen as well. That means that you have 16k/plane,
for a total of 32k of chip ram, just for starters to hold the superbitmap.
Then you can add the other window's buffer areas to that. Will be
interesting to see. Of course, the _best_ solution is an 80×24 memory for
the area, with refresh at appropriate times, but that's more than a "patch"
– that's another thing entirely. –Ben–
