It depends on the revision of the motherboard. From Rev 7 onwards the
character generator chip was changed from a 2513 uppercase only chip to
a 2316 ROM with 2716 compatible chip selects. This ROM can be replaced
by a 2716 with upper and lowercase characters.

It is unlilkely to have shipped with such a modification.
