YESSS!!!

I think I know what you mean ;-) Exactly the reason why I pushed to gain more clear information before trying anything. Thank you Jim for stepping in and getting this eventually done. Excellent job!! Hopefully this will also help VICE people and we may see a _full_ 1520 emulation at some point with e.g. SVG output...

Now the obvious question if this is just an idiosyncrasy of the chip we deal with or is it some kind of unreliability of the method? Were all other readings fully consistent? Those pages are supposedly "Unassigned" so it shouldn't be much of a problem if it is just inner life of the chip bit We have to verify now the remaining parts. I'll make a binary of the ROM part in a moment and have a look at it.
