Ok, thanks Marko, but I assume the program is trying to do something like
this, 

sta $DFFF (this activates /IO2 and in turn pulls EXROM low)
jmp $8xxx (run code from ROM)

The FastLoad Cart uses a capacitor ensure that the EXROM signal stays low
for the 3us between the store and jump. Is this not necessary due to some
"internal" or circuit delay?
