David John Pleasance, managing director of Commodore UK, gives a much greater number than other estimates:

I can tell you categorically that the number was just a tad under 27 million. I can tell you that because, when we were thinking about doing a management buyout, we got access to all the figures.

Is there any source about this number (255)? Or it is just a misinterpreation of the biggest byte value is 255 but the lowest is 0, so it is 256 character block??? This is also translated to other wikis :) UTF48 (talk) 10:20, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

It looks like a misinterpretation. Here's a link to the PETSCII table, which has 256 entries: https://sta.c64.org/cbm64pet.html Robert The Rebuilder (talk) 13:10, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
