Well, it should work. What happened when you entered the POKEs?
It's much easier to use a tool to redefine charsets than poking data into RAM. (Of course we all did it that way back when there were no tools around but it's really a waste of time  ).
Try this...
MONITOR (Return)
(Now you are in TEDMON, the built in machine language monitor.)
F1000 4000 00 (Return)
L"CHARSET",08 (Return)
M3800 (Return)
Do you see other values than 00 00 00 ... here?
In my previous post there was a small mistake, it should be LOAD"CHARSET",8,1 - without the "," after "1". It's important to LOAD it ",8,1" from BASIC and not just ",8".
Edit:
Instead of trying the above, enter this little BASIC program. Make sure you have the disk with your charset attached to drive 8.
10 A=A+1
20 IF A=1 THEN LOAD"CHARSET",8,1
30 POKE 65298,PEEK(65298)AND251: POKE 65299,DEC("38")
40 SCNCLR
50 FOR P=0 TO 255
60 POKE 3072+P,P
70 NEXT
80 GOTO 80
This program loads the charset and then clears the screen and POKEs all chars on the screen. What do you see?
