Wrong, you can create/modify/delete a file in RAM or in IRAM.

Oh nice, sounds like I assumed wrong. So you can just EDIT MYPROG:PORT(1) and you're off to the races?

What I lack in EE knowledge I make up for in daring with my soldering iron, as my 32 KB 42S can attest. Though I'd only attempt a cap swap/installation on a 71 if it's a fairly straight-forward opening of the case, with nice big solder pads for a reasonably large cap, and no mucking around with heat stakes.
