- Who knows which is and where is the ROM character generator chip for the CGA
- display in a NEC Ultralife 286f notebook?
-
- Who knows if such chips are in general interchangeable between machines of
- different makes?
-
- The issue behind the questions is to produce Hebrew characters instead of
- "national" characters on such a notebook, hopefully by just replacing the
- ROM chip with something otherwise compatible.
-
- Or is it technically conceivable (and perhaps readily available off the shelf
- somewhere) to fake the ROM by software?
