Chinese language card information


Screenshot of UCDOS 7.0

A Chinese language card or Chinese character card is a computer expansion card that improves the ability of computers to process Chinese text.

Early computers were limited in processing speed and storage capacity. If a software like CC-DOS or zh:UCDOS is being used to render Chinese characters, the Chinese font could take up to 1/3 of RAM, making it impossible to execute large programs. Moreover, Chinese rendering via software must go through the BIOS, so that the speed is as slow as dozens of characters per second.[1]

Using a Chinese Character card could improve the computer's ability to process Chinese text. The card has a Chinese font burnt on its ROM chip, so that the font no longer takes up computer RAM. It takes internal codes and directly renders the corresponding characters onto the screen, which works much faster than software-based rendering.
