The problem is, one tiny change could make a known software stop working 
with the DIY board...

Anyway, sounds a lot like my Micron Plus programmer - try the Micron 
Plus ROM, available here:
   ftp://ftp.nvg.org/pub/bbc/rom/Various/hardware/

If you have a BBC I/O podule, it may well work on an A5000 under !65Host 
(even though clocking 2MHz!). It's how I burn my ROMs now, given that 
the plug-in ROM slot thingy for my Beeb has gone AWOL.

But note - the disc access is *PAINFULLY* slow. Really, it takes 
considerably longer to save an image than to burn it! It must use byte 
accesses or something.


Best wishes,

Rick.
