If you ftp to maekong.ohm.york.ac.uk you'll find a few programs I wrote which  
use the ROM.

The coolest is an ICS (Internet chess server) client. It does full drag and  
drop chess, sending the results over the serial line and displaying your  
oponents moves. It's every bit as good as the versions running under X.

There's also a "Gess" program - a wierd game.

Finally I started work on a more complete windowing environment. I got as far  
as part of a library, a text editor, and an image viewer. However I never got  
quiet as far as sorting out the context switching.
