Great to see continuing activity on this front!

On the software side I also have something to report. I had posed about
the 6702 on my livejournal, including the source code for the emulation
and the C version of the dongle checker. A "mr_z" posted a reply that he
had discovered that the multiplication done in the dongle checker
doesn't really have a special relation with the hardware. It is used
merely as a convenient pseudo-random number generator. And indeed, if
you replace that bit in the C code with real random numbers (as long as
they're odd), the check still passes.
