Hello

i have an Apple IIe german PAL version. (no enhanced one)

When i am powering on the device the start screen is showing " APPLE ÜÄ"

When I am doing the selftest it says "KERNEL OK".
Is this just normal on german PAL versions or is there something faulty?

Normal, due to difference in character set. The brackets ] and [ were sacrificed for some umlauts.

There is a switch under the front of the case to switch to the A2 native US charset.
