Awesome. Works perfectly. That was a really good idea, Antoine.

So, for the record, the "complete" DSK-compatible crack of Homeword 2.1,
courtesy of Antoine and The Nipper (Computist #39, page 23), is as follows:

COPYA the original (or a NIB of the original)
On the copy, change:
Track $10 Sector $9:
$74: from $D0 to $EA
$75: from $0D to $EA
$7C: from $EA to $D0
$7D: from $EA to $0D

Track $00 Sector $8:
$12: from $B1 to $A9
$13: from $48 to $00
$E1: from $B1 to $A9
$E2: from $48 to $00
