Actually, I think you meant [10m as the fix, right? Nope, I
don't see a recognizable character on the screen. It `looks' like the
actual character maps are screwed. That is, instead of a 0x20 (space)
being mapped as:
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
It is mapped like:
11111110
01111011
11011101
11110111
10101011
11011010
10111101
01000011
And other similiar nonsense for other characters. I see NO characters
that are in the IBM graphics set.
Pax, Keith
