Bob, I have been wondering why someone hasn't ROMed this stuff. It's no big deal to update an EPROM and a smart company would offer the update service real cheap. In fact, it is probably possible for anyone (with a cheap EPROM burner to do it). Over on the CoCo Sig we all had cuatom operating systems in ROM prepped by the members. It's no problem and one EPROM can be used 4 or 5 times and it will either verify or not so you don't have any worries about it going out while in service. At this time I have an EPROM in my CoCo that has been reburned 3 times and is still goin' strong..Dave
