It's not the KANA led, that's bit 7 of PSG register 15. Does anyone know what
that bit does? The MSX redbook doesn't say anything. The dutch "MSX Handboek
for gevorderden" says the same as Portar.txt. Does anyone know what it is?
Do Japanese MSX computers have an extra key? (The KANA key seems to be the
same as the CODE key on international MSXes).
Yes, it is... except by the fact the "code" in the Japanese Machines
can be locked, in the same way Caps Lock. The "Code Lock" key was
called Kana Key... and when it's locked, the mentioned bit (6) will
be activated...
Caps lock is locked in software. This explanation makes me think it is not
possible to (re)set the state of the kana key in software. Is this
correct? What is the reason for making it a hardware switch?

It doesn't make sense though. I haven't emulated this bit at all, but still the KANA led works fine, and it stays in KANA mode till you press it again.

Re: web translator japanese- english ????
I was not talking about font sizes, Laurens. Please read more carefully. I said none of the like. Erm, you were talking about font-sizes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Yes. You can define the font-size in CSS, right? This must be done with characters, like small, large, xx-large, etc. Well, there are seven possible sizes, and every one equals a HTML FONT SIZE= number. In IE, this is rendered correctly. In Netscape however, it's all rendered one 'size' smaller. This is very annoying and my MSX ICQ list at www.msx.org (small commercial break) renders too small in Netscape because of that. But okay, let's forget about this. Grtjs, Manuel PS: MSX 4 EVER!

I dunno about any details, but as far as I remember, the CODE key works exactly the same as the CAPS LOCK key, it has its own LED on those Philips machines. For Japanese machines it is probably to lock the keyboard for Japanese characters like katakana or hiragana. Grtjs, Manuel PS: MSX 4 EVER! (Questions?
