well, that is not true.

For the BASIC portion, you're right; but the ROMs contain a second part, the
KERNEL. The KERNEL starts at $E3xx, if I remember correctly.

While there aren't really much differences with the BASIC part, except for
what you have described and the USR()-vector, there ARE differences with the
KERNEL part.
