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
