=== Special case of the F256K2 optical keyboard with a small LCD screen ===
Since the machine can lock up if you try to access the case-embedded LCD screen found (so far) only on the F256K2 with an optical keyboard, you must test a special bit in order to find whether it is an older style mechanical keyboard, or the newer style optical keyboard.
All K2 at release in 2025 and on have them, so for those, testing the machine MID code would be enough.
However, there are K2b boards released in late 2024 which were meant to give early access to the K2 machines, but they were meant to be temporarily used in the older F256K cases that have mechanical keyboards. Therefore, this following test must be performed to avoid locking up a machine that would attempt to access a non-present case embedded LCD.
Poll address 0xDDC1 and test bit 1 (second to last least significant bit).
If bit1 is set to 1 (ie 0bxxxxxx1x), the keyboard is mechanical and the embedded LCD is not available.
If bit1 is cleared to 0 (ie 0bxxxxxx0x), the keyboard is optical and the embedded LCD is available.

MID codes for machine identification

These are useful in order to support the different machines within the F256 class of machines, as they don't have the exact same devices, sound options and whatnot. For a detailed list of what is supposed to be available, read on this page on hardware details. Additionally, the specific FPGA core that is currently running will affect the following ID that is found in this table. For completeness, other computers from the Foenix Retro Systems are included, but they are not otherwise covered in this wiki you're currently reading. The current wiki tries to cover the F256Jr., F256K, F256 Jr.Jr. and F256K2. For all other computers mentioned in this table, you can refer to the older wiki found at [| wiki.c256foenix.com].

To get one of the following Machine ID, check the read-only register address of 0xD6A7 and check bits from 0 to 4. Initially, a 0x1F mask was applied to the value read from 0xD6A7.

However, bit 5 was recently added to account for some cores of the Jr.2 so that they are different from the equivalent of the original Jr. Bits 6 to 7 are unused for this process.

Special case of the F256K2 optical keyboard with a small LCD screen

Since the machine can lock up if you try to access the case-embedded LCD screen found (so far) only on the F256K2 with an optical keyboard, you must test a special bit in order to find whether it is an older style mechanical keyboard, or the newer style optical keyboard. All K2 at release in 2025 and on have them, so for those, testing the machine MID code would be enough. However, there are K2b boards released in late 2024 which were meant to give early access to the K2 machines, but they were meant to be temporarily used in the older F256K cases that have mechanical keyboards. Therefore, this following test must be performed to avoid locking up a machine that would attempt to access a non-present case embedded LCD.

Poll address 0xDDC1 and test bit 1 (second to last least significant bit).

If bit1 is set to 1 (ie 0bxxxxxx1x), the keyboard is mechanical and the embedded LCD is not available.

If bit1 is cleared to 0 (ie 0bxxxxxx0x), the keyboard is optical and the embedded LCD is available.
