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.
