I don't remember which one there is in the config.sys: mcam18xx.sys or dcam18xx.exe I run the setup program and the program made the modifies in config and auotexec files. I think the …

@muon: have you verified that you actually need to do this? That image (and .bin) is of the standard CP437 character set, which includes those chars for Spanish. Good call, I should have checked that before explaining how to program a ROM that most likely wouldn't change anything. Anyway I've …

The font you show is a 8x8 CGA font. A CGA font is 8 bytes per character at 256 character, i.e. 2 kilobytes. Your ROM chip has 8 kilobytes, and your card is very likely to use one of the four 2-kilobyte parts you obtain when dividing the 8 kilobytes into 4 equal parts for CGA display. If you obtain …
