The thought had crossed my mind, but only as a last resort.  I'm not
entirely sure what the internal fault is, but the end result is two rows of
every character have all bits stuck "on."  I've verified that the ROM
addressing is correct and that there's nothing on the output side causing
this behavior.  Patrick, thanks very much for offering to read the ROM!
