Title: Changing German C128 to "standard version"
Post by: Borat on June 01, 2009, 10:31 AM

I have recently bought a German C128. It has eproms in U35 and U18.

U35 = 315078-03
U18 = 315079-01A charrom

In order for me to restore this back to the "standard" version, I assume I would need to replace both eproms with the appropriate replacement?

So:

U35 should be kernal.318020-03.bin and
U18 should be characters.390059-01.bin

Is this correct? What about the CAPS LOCK - ASCII/DIN switch? Anything needing changed there?

The latest version for U35 is 318020-05.

One of our club's NTSC C128 has a 318020-03 in U35 and a 390059-01 in U35. It has not been modded, other than the addition of the Megabit 128 ROM adapter. As for the Caps Lock/ASCII-DIN switch, I have no information on that.

If by "standard" he means NTSC, then the VIC has to be replaced as well, as the scan rate is mask fixed.

No I don't mean that standard. It is PAL as I want it, I just wanted it back to an "English" 128 (keyboard and char set).
