Hi Andre,

I'll look into it. I'm worried about space requirements. Yes, I verified one more fixed entry point today, so now its up to 3. I wonder if later BASIC or KERNAL ROMS were changed to go through the jump table, or if Commodore never bothered to fix them... there must have been a reason to add the table in the first place.

Hi Steve,

that looks like an awesome project. Here's one thing you
could probably add: my serial line driver (for a UART 16550 though,
not for a 6551) - so you can run BASIC via serial line. It's in
the Driver section here:
http://6502.org/users/andre/csa/gecko/index.html

What I noted is that the BASIC and rest of the kernal ROM actually
jump directly into some entry points, and not via jump table.
So you have to work around those entry points.
