Well, I guess you could always disasm the ROM, stick other parameters in,
assemble it again, burn it, and stick it in. Or you could get a TIDE card.
While a TIDE is quite fast (~700-800k/s with a good drive), it lamentably
has a ROM restriction as well, this time to 256MB. I never understood why
the author didn't take it out, going to 512MB at least should be no sweat.
