I've also seen the ROMs by Geoff Wearmouth which do the same thing,
amongst other stuff such as fix all the bugs.
This is a good idea on the Plus and upwards, and particularly the
Amstrad machines where they removed all the keywords off the keys
except LOAD, CODE and RUN. But how good is the idea on the original
rubber-keyed model?
