Well, the problem (the bad first byte) no doubt has something to do with the
second issue (the wierd way I had to read it). I missed the bad character,
but can correct it with a bit editor.
As for your question, me and Mr. Benson often trade to support each others
Commodore habits. The VIC 1001 was part of one of our trades.
Should that ROM have been readable as a 2732?
