I am on the point that the Laser ROM may well be the way to go.  I've 
been toying with the idea of implementing Laser compatibility (BIOS by 
Central Point - now owned by Synantec; computer by VTech - now just 
makes phones and kiddie toys) in EMU][ for this reason alone.  Another 
idea I had was the EMU][ REE system which eventually would have had a 
rewritten monitor, and use the BASIC from SimSystem IIe (which I can 
extract from the SimSystem ROMs to a raw 10K binary org'd at $D000, and 
have a proggy for), maybe that might be a consideration.
