Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the information. Might try the EPROM in my 1750REU (will have to
put a socket in first) or a cart as you say.

These are important considerations. Every one of the C64 ROM checkers flag
an error if a non-standard ROM is used (eg JiffyDOS), but pathching to
allowing the program to proceed would overcome this as I don't know that you
can fully validate every ROM every made for the C64/128 - maybe just the
JMP-Table?)

Nick
