If you have a VCR and a TV you can always use it as a monitor. Just
connect the P21 video out to VIDEO IN on the VCR and select the correct
input. I also use MuP21 on a BW monitor.
If you are not using video output at all, you can get a slower xtal
and change the boot code to set up the video processor to only generate
refresh. Or you can forget about refresh if you design you code to
always keep code and data self refreshed through constant access. This
will give you better performace for off-line processing.
