Non-Apple?  Or non-Safari/Firefox/Chrome?  I.e. IE.  Specifically IE9.

I tested on my wife's computer (Windows 7) without issue with Chrome,
but with IE9 the TTF fonts do not get downloaded and/or rendered.  The
inverse, if you look carefully, actually has the scan lines in the
background (as it should be).  It's not as simple as changing the BG/
FG colors.  The TTF font requires different codes for inverse (|
0x80).  And, with IE9, I cannot get the HTML5 audio controls to
appear.
Seems to work, at least visually, on Seamonkey...no surprise since the backend is the same as Firefox. 


  * At the end of the ordeal, you're dropped into the monitor at the
Apple II with the admonition to remove the disk.  Seems like most folks
would want to be left at the Applesoft prompt, and would also want to be
advised to boot the disk (with PR#6 or C600G, if they're still at the
monitor).


I'll get in the next release.
I wonder if "lda #$06", "jsr $FE95" would be somewhat better than just jumping to C600? (it's the equivalent of a pr#6)
