A ROM emulator for the 71B

[mfleming]

My working name in my engineering notes has always been the MultiMod ROM Emulator since it can present Multiple Modules when plugged in. Dull, but serviceable.

Yeah, I'm really "bummed" myself about not doing a takeover ROM, but my idea of holding the HALT signal until the internal processor recovers was not treated kindly by J-F, and I strongly suspect it would cause scheduled alarms that wake the 71B to be lost. I'll play around with the idea later when time permits to see if it might actually work.

I'll provide more detail in a few days when the manual is posted. I can now really appreciate the amount of work Tony, Diego, J-F, and others went through to make a complex product available to others.

Maybe I just shudda kept my mouth shut, yeah?
