Thank you for your very detailed analysis. When I archived the ROMs
a decade ago, I wasn't an expert of the serial bus protocol. You
obviously are, given your involvement with the OpenCBM project.
I think that this could be checked fairly easily by installing the
-03 ROM to a 1541 (for example, using Nicolas Welte's flash ROM
card) and seeing if it works in a multi-device setup.
Given that Andrew reported the drive to work as the only device on the bus,
a ROM defect seems unlikely.
Andrew, could you write a small program to copy the $e000-$ffff ROM to
disk, and send the file to me or Spiro? Or you could compare it yourself
to the copy of the -03 ROM on zimmers.net. There is a ROM checksum, but
the algorithm is very simple, so a defect can go unnoticed.
