I have been reading up on the color computer and found out that besides lucking out and buying the 64k version it is also a Korean model with a 6847T1 chip in it.  I just haven’t been able to figure out how to enable lowercase letters.  Also, I seem to be understanding that the characters are built into the chip and cannot be changed.  Is this correct?  There is mention of added graphics modes, but no information on what they are or how to access them.  Can anyone point me to books on how to access the video and sound chips in assembly?
