I agree with Dieter and feel that even the WLP machines should exactly match original machine behavior, even if they have bugs (or at least, unexpected behavior). If there is some easy way for you to provide alternate versions (without having to include another nearly identical set of f/w) that could be desirable, but IMHO not justified.

I believe running any existing programs (e.g. from the Applications books, PPC Journals, etc.) just as the original machines did is more important than correcting the f/w for the odd case such as that which prompted this thread (which btw, thanks to Dieter for noticing and documenting).

Other folks may have a different view; if so, please comment here, as I may be in the minority about this.
