From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
dread high-bit disease n.   A condition endemic to some    now-obsolete computers and peripherals (including ASR-33 teletypes    and PRIME minicomputers) that results in all characters having their    high (0x80) bit forced on.   This of course makes transporting files    to other systems much more difficult, not to mention the problems    these machines have talking with true 8-bit devices.          This term was originally used specifically of PRIME (a.k.a.   PR1ME)    minicomputers.   Folklore has it that PRIME adopted the reversed-8-bit       convention in order to save 25 cents per serial line per machine;    PRIME old-timers, on the other hand, claim they inherited the    disease from Honeywell via customer NASA's compatibility    requirements and struggled heroically to cure it.   Whoever was    responsible, this probably qualifies as one of the most {cretinous}    design tradeoffs ever made.   See {meta bit}.

Dread Questionmark Disease   n. The result of saving HTML from    Microsoft Word or some other program that uses the nonstandard    Microsoft variant of Latin-1; the symptom is that various of those    nonstandard characters in positions 128-160 show up as    questionmarks.   The usual culprit is the misnamed `smart quotes'    feature in Microsoft Word.   For more details (and a program called    `demoroniser' that cleans up the mess) see    `http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/demoroniser/'.

dread high bit disease          A condition endemic to {PRIME} (also known as       "PR1ME") {minicomputers} that results in all the characters       having their high bit (0x80, see {meta bit}) ON rather than       OFF.   This complicates transporting files to other systems and       talking to true 8-bit devices.   Folklore had it that PRIME       adopted the convention in order to save 25 cents per {serial       line} per machine; PRIME old-timers, on the other hand, claim       they inherited the disease from {Honeywell} via customer       NASA's compatibility requirements and struggled heroically to       cure it.   Whoever was responsible, this probably qualifies as       one of the most cretinous design tradeoffs ever made.   A few       other machines have exhibited similar brain damage.          [{Jargon File}]          (2002-04-09)
