Funny thing is, the ROM03 firmware works in the A2S4000 machine,
but you still don't have the port. I'm still looking into the
possibility of adding the port, but I need to see an A2S4100 so
I can figure out where to hook it up.  :o)

Again, looking to adding the port, possibly through an
MMU/CPU connection and a ribbon cable to the outside.
That might work.  o)

boards are

I've been looking for the CPU/MMU connectible ram card
for quite some time, and may never find one.  :o)
