C.H.O.M.E posted:vga glyphs are stored in a lookup table so if that is broken i would expect it to replace the letters with consistently the wrong letter, like a cipher that substitutes o for g, but it doesn't look like it is doing that, it sometimes displays the correct o then sometimes replaces o with g. however it also displays a full word incorrectly twice in the same way (the word normally) so something repeatable is happening, maybe there is a hysteresis involved so that it fucks up a letter depending on what the last letter was, or a state machine that is out of wack. or the source text could just be hosed up but then i don't know how you'd end up repeating the same errors like that. the two common failures seem to be 'o' -> 'g' and 'i' -> 'a'. both of these letters are 8 apart in ascii values. a likely explanation is that one of the data lines leading to the memory or one of the columns in the ram or cache is flaky and occasionally dropping bit 3, which is subtracting 8 from that byte. why o and i are commonly affected is not obvious to me.
