It's not the KANA led, that's bit 7 of PSG register 15. Does anyone know

Syllable is not just letters, but special groups ("lettergrepen" in Dutch).

I know that. So in this context it means

JIS is "Japanese International Standard",
JIS means Japanese Industrial Standard.
The new Japanese Industrial Standard for a coded character set, JIS X0213

The CODE key can also be locked on the (European) Philips VG-8010 (and
VG-8000, which is the same, but has only 16kB RAM). Funny.
Hmm how does it work on these machines? Does the actual key toggle? Or
is there a led which goes on? How does it work in software?
