OK, I own up. It was me.

As I recall, I renamed the *INFO command in the 'Masterized' Watford DFS.

*HELP DFS  might show the renamed command

After your message in March I found 2 ROM images I'd done to get the
Watford DFS working on the Master.  I think the only difference was
that one had the renamed *INFO and the other didn't.  If you're
unlucky, you'll have been sent the ROM image without the renamed
*INFO command....
