QS CHRS Board

Platform(s): TS 1000
Date: 1982
Price: $40

Character generator giving 128 separately programmable characters. 1K on board RAM. Enables creation and display of your own characters to screen or printer.

Maps 1K RAM to 8400h-87FFh, allowing for 128 custom characters (64 normal and 64 inverted characters). Each character can be individually defined.

The RAM contained random data at power-up, resulting in a garbled display. The board has a switch to manually enable/disable the CHRS feature, allowing the user to boot with standard Sinclair characters, load the RAM with character definitions and switch to custom characters.

Sinclair Place imported versions manufactured by Indescomp.
