no, the 82 shade doesn't work on the 83
second, you can receive lower case letters with asm on the 83, as i
experimented with today.  the problem i encountered, however, was that
only given ascii chars 00-99 (some chars, some symbols) the full alphabets
weren't represented, i think j-o and z were admitted formthe listing, at
least they were the way i tried to do it.  if someone can find a way to
get these characters through asm on the 83, i would really appreciate it
