- PB> How big is the ROM in you machine?
-
- I read it here at school, and the EPROM reader found it to be 32K. I have a
- dump of it.
-
- There is only one chip containing everything, and I only switched one chip
- when changing to JiffyDOS.
-
- PB> Wait a minute here; Do you actually have different KEYMAPS for the

-
- Yes, they are. It's only unfortunate that this is not available in C64
- mode, where I would need it (the thinnest underscore character is missing
- on the Swedish keyboard -- this was one of the things I was thinking about
- correcting).
-
- PB> But the switching takes a bit to long to be only a flip of a switch if
- PB> you ask me!
-
- It does? Hmm. Maybe it's done in software then. I'm not sure. The
- character generator is hardwired at least, there's an extra wire from the
- keyboard connector to it on the motherboard :-)
-
- (In 80 column mode, the charset is re-read by software).

-
- I don't have a dump of the JiffyDOS chip, only of my Swedish KERNAL.
