Cool.  I have a couple of these, and the ROMs and mainboards for a few
more.  Is this how you get the magic diagnostic code for pratting about
with the EEPROM?  The other thing I thought of was to look at the code
around the "protection" bits and see if they can be disabled, very much
like the way you get "No CD" cracks for games.  I *used* to be able to
do this, back in the days of ZX Spectrums and Atari STs...
