Excuse me, but is there any hardware at all that is not 437? 437 is the 
orignal IBM-PC's codepage, used in the BIOS. Everything is in English (US) 
language when an IBM-PC boots up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437

It doesn't make sense to me to tell an OS for an IBM-PC what the hardware 
codepage is, when there is only one possibility anyway.

Please correct me if I'm not getting the point here.

Greetings,
Andreas.
