Hi!
I have German C128DCR. It's not problem to recognize it when I work.
But HOW TO RECOGNIZE WHICH COMPUTER IS USED IN BASIC/ML CODE?
Is any PEEK or st. that when I RUN my application on other C128, it will recognize its type?
Thanks for reply.

Hi!
I got reply on Forum64 that type of machine is at addresses $CFF8, $CFF9, $CFFA, $CFFB and results were:
PEEK addresses recognized machine type in BANK 12 to BANK 15:
INTERNATIONAL: 255/255/255/255
FRENCH: 17/2/255/255
ITALIAN: 17/6/255/255
NORWEGIAN: 17/5/255/255
SWEDISH: 8/4/91/188
but not recognized btw. INTERNATIONAL and GERMAN and FINISH, output was of all three languages:
255/255/255/255
So, now only to know recognize FIN/GER machine type...
Have somebody any idea?
Thanks for reply.

The simple answer would be to get all Kernal ROMs from all language version and compare them. If comparison shows any differences than you have a simple but not bulletproof method.
BTW: check this page out: http://www.cbmhardware.de/c128/firmware/index.html (http://www.cbmhardware.de/c128/firmware/index.html) for different language versions.
Hi!
It works with PEEKS:
ifpeek(53244)=255andpeek(53245)=255andpeek(53246)=0andpeek(53247)=195thenprint"International version 0 (old version from 1985)"
ifpeek(53244)=22andpeek(53245)=171andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=188thenprint"International intermediate version between version 0 and 1"
ifpeek(53244)=118andpeek(53245)=143andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=60thenprint"International version 1 (new version used from 1986 and onwards)"
ifpeek(53244)=158andpeek(53245)=182andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=47thenprint"Swedish"
ifpeek(53244)=255andpeek(53245)=8andpeek(53246)=65andpeek(53247)=135thenprint"Finnish"
ifpeek(53244)=255andpeek(53245)=255andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=67thenprint"French"
ifpeek(53244)=255andpeek(53245)=255andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=207thenprint"German"
ifpeek(53244)=255andpeek(53245)=255andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=173thenprint"Italian"
ifpeek(53244)=255andpeek(53245)=255andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=15thenprint"Norwegian"
2300 ifpeek(53244)=17andpeek(53245)=150andpeek(53246)=1andpeek(53247)=3thenprint"Danish"
and...
ifpeek(53465)=48thenprint"International"
ifpeek(53465)=24thenprint"Swedish/Finnish"
ifpeek(53465)=40thenprint"Danish/Norwegian"
ifpeek(53249)=66thenprint"German"
ifpeek(53249)=34thenprint"French/Belgian/Italian"
I attached also hardware-info program that I reprogrammed and added any recognizing options. Works not correctly in VICE.
