==80-column updates==
The original versions of SpeedScript were designed for the 40-column Commodore 64 and the 22-column VIC-20. When the [[Commodore 128]] was released, featuring an 80-column display, many users requested an updated version of SpeedScript to take advantage of this new capability. In June 1986, ''Compute!'s Gazette'' published SpeedScript-80, a short [[Patch (computing)|patch]] for SpeedScript 3.0 or higher, which enabled the use of the [[MOS Technology VDC8563|VDC]]'s new 80-column capabilities on a Commodore 128 running in 64 mode.<ref name="heimarck198606" /> However, this did not take advantage of the C128's expanded memory, and a few minor commands were eliminated due to the alterations to the existing code.
