Yes, the C128 boots up with the Z80. I disassembled that ROM enough so that I was able to remove the check whether -EXROM or -GAME are pulled down during startup, because I did not want the computer to enter C64 mode only because some C64 cartridge was plugged in. The Z80 also checks if the C= key is pressed. The C= key check is duplicated by the C128 KERNAL ROM. MarkoReceived on 2018-05-28 14:00:07
