I am thinking of using the 2 unused key assignment bits that belong to the second half of the ENTER key. These are the MSB in nibble 7 of register 10 and 15. It seems the ZENROM uses these bits.

I have two questions:
  1. Are there other modules apart from ZENROM that use these bits?
  2. How popular is ZENROM these days, do you use it?

I'm not aware of any module using them - but then I didn't know the ZENROM did either, so not sure this is a valuable input.

I never use the ZENROM, the AMC_OS/X and other advanced modules do all the power use I need.
