I'm confused. The 82163A is only a 32 column device. The real question is how are you getting 80 columns on a 32 column device?

sorry I don't have a good answer to getting 80 columns out of an 82163a other then I'm not. I noticed the display was not correct when using my 82163a so I switched my 75 over to link+ (using the hpil/isa card) which acts as an 80 column device and visicalc displayed properly.
Since that posting, I've switched the visicalc module to another 75 which was freshly reset. The default mode appears to be 32 columns.

HP82163 video interface provides 32 columns only.
You need an HP92198A HP-IL 80-Column Video Interface.
It was made by Mountain Computer, Inc. (MC00701A).

Hello Andy,
you can set the dimension of the video display with the following BASIC commands: VLENGTH n and VWIDTH m.
The defaults are VLENGTH 16 and VWIDTH 32.
