i posted a link to the device's info page some days ago. It's a little board
that plugs into the 6502 socket and it has its own onboard 32kB RAM and 128kB
ROM. Also the memory decoding is done on the board, so I don't have to depend
on the capabilities of the host machine. In the PET, I mapped RAM to
$0000-$7fff and ROM from $9000-$ffff, with a hole for I/O at $e800-$efff.

BASIC4 uses the b000 bank, the orginal boar also doesn't have a socket for
this one.

Ah, that's the video problem you mention in the readme file! I could live with
that, and I think it could be fixed rather easily by adding a wait routine for
the v-blank, as it's present in the old 1.0 and 2.0 ROMs. Sounds like 4.0 has
the "speed-POKE" built in already.
I still wonder why the non-CRTC editor ROMs don't work in VICE as well, if I
specify a non-CRTC 2001-8 machine.
