It sounds to me like you have the diagnosis right, but your explanations of the
effects don't sound right: MultiScribe uses the DHR graphics screen, so it
seems unlikely that what he is seeing is text that is meant to be mousetext.

It sounds more like the program is expecting a 65c02, and hanging (and printing
out grabage) when it tries to execute 65c02 code on a standard 6502. It could
also be expecting a newer ROM than is present (i.e. an enhanced ROM)
