Ethan,
could you please change your subscription address to the one you are
posting from, or vice versa?
When it comes to your question, the VIC-1001 and the VIC-20 use the same
BASIC interpreter. Also the KERNAL error messages are in English. But
what is interesting is that the serial timing is a bit different, as
William pointed out earlier. Hmm, the guy who dumped the ROMs didn't say
that he had any problems with disk drive access. I wonder what drive he
was using.

I wonder how that affects the BASIC and Kernal ROMs. Unless the new messages
and errors were exactly the same length in Kana as they are in English, I
would think that other things might end up moved around a few bytes here and
there.
