Re: 8050 ROM dump

Well, I dumped all 4 ROMs that I have and they match Zimmer's images
perfectly.

***BUT***

These ROMs are programmed with an active-HIGH chip select (pin20), so a 2764
(or even a 68764/6) would presumably need to have CS inverted. I think this
issue has also come up in the C64/C128 world somewhere...

If he didn't account for that then I'm surprised he read anything at all,
not just "substantially different" code ;-).
