What would be cool would be if it was possible to write a
virtual display DOS Text/CGA driver for the OmniGo which intercepts
output to the screen and divides the full CGA 640x200 screen
into three 240x200 slices (with some overlaps) and then allows the
user to scroll left or right between the slices using
say FN + <- and FN + ->. This way by scrolling it would
be possible to see the full 80 columns.

Probably not very feasible or simple to write though :-(
