- Can anyone satisfy my curiosity as to why it's so hard to get it to work
- on machines with the IIci, LC, or IIsi ROM? The only thing that I can
- think of, is that the ROM accesses those vectors and that Blat would,
- therefore, flag errors too often to be useful. Why can't the "offending"
- traps be patched with clean versions, or isn't it that simple, or am I
- completely and totally off-base?
-
- I imagine those three machines (plus Quadras) must represent a sizable
- number of developers, and hey, just the _thought_ of trapping writes to
- NULL with the MMU is making me drool...
