Found a C128 on c-list locally for $50, came in original box with power supply. Seller said it powered on but could not test further. I bought a video to component cable online and when it came it tested it out. The C128 mode works perfectly, nice clear picture. When I power it up into C64 mode the display is equally as nice however I notice on the letter E , the middle horizontal line has a twinkling vertical line through it. If I make a row of EEEEEEEEE they all have that middle line, some wiggle a little. It's not a deal breaker but I know it's not supposed to be there because I had C64's and 128's as a kid.
I read somewhere about it might be the character rom chip so I ordered one online, seller said it was good for C64 or 128's. It is the MOS 901225-01 chip. It came and I opened the 128 up, there are only 2 chips on the main board, soldered directly to it but neither have this part number. Is it really compatible?
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
