Hey all,
I'm looking for a reproduction of the ROM ascii character set from the Tandy 1000 series (the early ones with the original "Tandy video" hardware, of course).
As far as I know, Tandy 1000 text modes used 8x9 characters rather than 8x8, but were they actually encoded as 9-line characters? or did it generate the 9th scanline similar to how VGA generated a 9th *column* for 8-column characters?
Aside from that, all I know is that there are other minor differences from IBM's CGA/PCjr character sets.
By any chance, could anyone provide a bitmap image file showing the full character set? That would be best - although I could also use a raw dump, if you could explain to me (slowly and patiently) how to decode it :wink:
thanks in advance!
