Appendix
B
The
MPS
1200
Character Sets
This appendix contains a
number
of
tables showing the characters
which the MPS 1200 can produce.
The
tables show the characters produced by each
national
version.
Those
tables show the decimal and hexadecimal value
and
the
characters they produce.
The
M PS 1200
is
capable
of
choosing up
to
eight versions
of
national character sets which are set by a
combination
of
DIP
switches. These national cha racter sets correspond to those
of
the
Commodore
128.
The
Commodore
128
has two types
of
character
modes:ASCII
(PETASCII)
and
national mode. Users can choose
whichever
mode
they like by pressing the ALT key
(DIN/
ASCII)
on the keyboard. When using the MPS 1200 with the
128,
DIP
switches must be set in accordance with the
Commodore
128
chracter mode.
