I have a few vintage computers with monochrome phosphor monitors. I do not use them much but would like to keep them on for a short while (perhaps half an hour) on a regular basis, in order to prevent electrolytic capacitors from drying out. I do not want to any burn in to happen during this process. Is there any way I can use some program to completely turn the screen into black so nothing is shown on it? I don’t really want to use those “screen saver” programs which may have different things displayed on the screen because it still burns the phosphor over time. I am thinking of a BASIC program or similar thing. I’d like to write it into a floppy disk so it can just boot into BASIC and run the program automatically.
Any thoughts?
