They looked like fill characters, mostly FF, as if he read > the 2K ROM as a 4K ROM. The PET charom is only 2k in size. The inversion is done by directly taking the 8th data bit (with value 128) of the character index and inverting the video signal with that - saves you a then precious 2k of (EP)ROM space. This design is kept at least until the 8296. Marko, I have a non-complete, hand-drawn schematic of a 8296 board. I "beeped" it directly, following the connections on the board. After I had the major parts of the board I stopped. So it is not complete and surely contains bugs. Interested? I could probably scan them and send by email.
