   I've finally found the spare desktop space to examine a TRS-80 Model III   
   (see http://kildall.apana.org.au/~cjb/wordpress/archives/131), and one   
   of the discoveries was the 32 column screen mode looking -exactly-   
   like the alphanumeric characters of the Commodore PET and VIC-20.   
      
   Microsoft is a possible common connection, but does anyone have an   
   explanation why the two systems used a lot of the same character ROM   
   data? (It was just in the public domain?)
