Thanks, for that.
Very useful information.

If I'm going to the bother of replacing the MOS ROM in my Master, I would
like to take the opportunity to replace some of the built-in roms that I
never use (view, viewsheet) with ROM images I constantly load into SRAM.
Is that possible, or are all the ROMs required as they are ? (shared
routines ?)
