Pig-Font & Lowecase Chip for the II PLUS

Hi everybody.... Just thought I'd post this , was pretty interesting to see it work at all! I burned a working Pig-Font Chip for the II PLUS , if you don't know what a Pig-Font chip is , well is a Character Chip for the II PLUS that is Enhanced , has some really kewl characters added into the chip , Example... There are Skull & Crossbones , little Piggy characters , etc.. PLUS! It has all the Lowercase characters as well! I am working on a few modified Non-Autostart F8 roms right now , they seem to work quite well in Apple II Oasis Emulator...

Anyhow , just wanted to post this for people who remember way back when , when it was fun to experiment on the Apple II's :O)

See ya.

Update to my last on Pig-Font

ok just to recap , the pig-font chip was an enhancement chip for the II PLUS , the great thing about this chip was the ability to display upper and lowercase characters , along with some pretty neat characters , apple , skull & crossbones , piggy facing you , piggy facing left and piggy facing right , this was a really neat rom back in the day , alot of boards took advantage of this chip back in the day , it displayed well on a apple that had this chip , just wanted to clarify a little about what it was.

Thanks.
