OEM code pages: Readded MCGA after checking that it supports RAM fonts in text mode as well
Line 27:
Hardware code pages are also [[OEM code page]]s. The designation "OEM", for "[[original equipment manufacturer]]", indicates that the character set could be changed by the manufacturer to meet different markets.
 
However, OEM code pages do not necessarily reside in ROM, but include so called [[prepared code page]]s,<ref name="Caldera_1998_USER-17"/> character sets uploaded as [[raster font]]s into the font RAM of suitable display adapters (like [[HGC+]] with [[RAMFONT]], <!-- [[MCGA]],? -->[[Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]], [[VGA]], etc.) and printers as well. Hence, the group of OEM code pages is a superset of hardware code pages.
