It was fun surfing through information looking for patterns. The pattern of a character set is very distinctive.

You’re looking at piles and piles of random dots when A,B,C swims into view. Eureka!

Then you redefine the characters by substituting your own numbers, and copy the information into a blank chip. The most interesting character set I made looked like the bank numbers on the bottom of your checks. Cool!

The character set I had the most fun with was for a logic analyzer (a device a bit like an oscilloscope for looking at digital signals). I had a lot of blank space in the upper part of the character set ROM, so I filled it with graphics that in a 2x2 (2x3?) grid would form chess pieces on a board.

The I took a FORTRAN chess game and ported it to run on the logic analyzer's CPU.
