Hi,

A rather enlighten design of DAPPLE: disk image only updated when I
quit emulator.

> No mousetext or inverse, dunno how an actual ROM is formatted...

About the character generator ROM, I've changed this ROM several years
ago when my BAL-500 EPROM writer still work. I even keep a copy of the
F8 ROM. CTRL-RESET and then "-" go to monitor.

There must be someone who did the changes, I'm sure many Apple fans
still have it.

For the legal stuff, can we follow the GPL way? Code some new but
compatible ROM code instead of a "direct copy", I think it's hard but
someone may find it challenging.
