Cool! I just bought one of the G thingies ($30 on Amazon), will try
loading up the modified firmware and see if it works. Just easier than
making an endless pile of floppies I will only use once or twice (I
already have the whole POS 2.0 set).
So does a 380 support programs in split I/D? If not I need to start
hacking it to do so as 64k limits are for the birds....
