   While OS and utilities may be written to one character set or
   another, I've never seen an instruction set that favored one.

   Printers and terminals are the only peripherals I can think of
   that would differ.

   Even card readers/punches I've dealt with could read/punch either
   026 (BCD) or 029 (EBCDIC), via translation in the interface software.
