Interesting. makes me wonder where that leaves my platinum IIe. It has a
board which apparently looks like a PAL board according to descriptions
I've read yet it says NTSC screenprinted onto the board. It also has the
US/UK charactersets and the switch underneath the keyboard to toggle them.

Slight extra tangent. I was reading some of the ProDOS tech reference last
night (I know, strange bit of bedtime reading) and realised that
expansionwise my IIe was the same as an unexpanded IIc.

Anyway, this is all very interesting. I like finding out about
international "standards".
