Yes, this or a slightly changed kernal ROM. 

The HSG issues mention several improved kernal versions, some
containing a faster RAM test. Especially the "bank x kernal" would be
interesting. It can be loaded into any bank equipped with RAM, so
kernal calls can be made in this bank without bank switches. If
anybody has this kernal, I would be highly interested.
