DJ Omnimaga:
To track down which calculator batches got the Locate glitch with non-ASCII tokens, I think we should all post our calc serial number here along with other info:

(Serial number is on white label on the back of the calc)

Serial: 755AW0XMA005355
OS pre-loaded on calc on buying: 01.01.0200
OS 01.01.0200: Bug present
OS 01.02.0200: Bug present

If we notice a pattern, then this is IMPORTANT that those who plan to buy a Prizm ONLINE asks the buyer what is the serial on the back of the calc and if it's impossible, then not buy the calc, because otherwise it might be defective and contain the Locate glitch.

It might be a good idea to describe what the locate bug is and how to test it in case someone wants to check their calc.

DJ Omnimaga:
Non-ASCII chars will not display properly. Far to the right of the screen they often don't appear at all until later, sometimes chars appears out of nowhere and colors are wrong.

Serial: 755AW0XMA005493
preloaded OS: 01.01.200
OS 01.01.200: untested
OS 01.02.200: Bug present

test program

--- Code: ---For 0->A To 7
For 1->B to 21
Locate B,A,"€"  ;any special char will work
Next
Next
--- End code ---
I'm guessing that the bug comes from special chars being 2 bytes instead of one. That might cause the OS to misinterpret them in its lookup table when drawing.
