<p>Created page with &quot;{{FormatInfo |formattype=electronic |subcat=Character Encodings |released=1983 }} The &#039;&#039;&#039;Mattel Aquarius&#039;&#039;&#039; (see <a href="/wiki/Mattel_Aquarius_BASIC_tokenized_file" title="Mattel Aquarius BASIC tokenized file">Mattel Aquarius BASIC tokenized file</a> for more information ...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{FormatInfo<br /> |formattype=electronic<br /> |subcat=Character Encodings<br /> |released=1983<br /> }}<br /> The '''Mattel Aquarius''' (see [[Mattel Aquarius BASIC tokenized file]] for more information on it) used an 8-bit character set (with 256 characters in the code position range of 0 to 255) that was based on [[ASCII]]. The &quot;high-bit&quot; characters (128-255) and the [[C0 controls]] were filled in with graphical characters. (Some of the control characters would have to be poked directly into screen memory to see their graphical renditions, since printing a tab, formfeed, carriage return, or bell character would have the control effect rather than the graphical one.)<br /> <br /> == Character chart ==<br /> * [http://www.vdsteenoven.com/aquarius/images/techinfo/aquarius-characterset.jpg Character set graphic]<br /> * You can also use the JSMESS emulation below to go to BASIC command line mode and type &lt;code&gt;PRINT CHR$(i)&lt;/code&gt; for various values of &lt;code&gt;i&lt;/code&gt; in order to see specific code points.<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:Mattel Aquarius|Wikipedia article]]<br /> * [http://jsmess.textfiles.com/messloader.html?module=aquarius JSMESS in-browser emulation]<br /> * [http://www.vdsteenoven.com/aquarius/ Page about Aquarius computer]<br /> * [http://www.vdsteenoven.com/aquarius/aquarius2.html Page about Aquarius 2 computer]<br /> * [http://www.gondolin.org.uk/hchof/review.php?id=6&amp;mcid=5 Review]<br /> * [http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/archive/index.php/t-9063.html Vintage Computer page]</div>
