Hi there,

Sure, they are always welcome :))

It has to fetch the same amount of bytes, so it remains the same.
Bitmap mode is only different from char mode in two ways. First the interpretation of the screen attribute bytes differ ($0800, & $0c00),
and the address generation for the bitmap differs. It's possible,
that $ff1a-$ff1b is used in generating these addresses.

If bit 7 is set: (if it's not set that means normal ops)
x = low nybble (bit 0..3)
mul = 0 if both bit 4 and bit 5 is not set mul = 1 if either bit 4 or bit 5 is set mul = 2 if both bit 4 and bit 5 is set alg:
if (x>8) x=8;
value = mul*x/16;

It is $C4.
I do hope, this was clear. :)
