title: The PC tachistoscope has 240 pages.
abstract: Myors (1998) showed how to combine familiar video page switching with bit-plane layering in video mode 0dh to increase the capacity of the PC tachistoscope from 8 to 32 pages. The present article shows how to combine video page switching with color page switching to implement a 240-page tachistoscope, thus producing an almost eightfold increase in the capacity of the PC tachistoscope. The main limitation of this technique is that the images cannot all be located in the same position on the screen. Complete source code in C is included.
