Also, there might be ROM bugs on the VIC-20 when dealing with RS-232
communication. I have an early issue of a Swedish VIC magazine where
an user had disassembled parts of the ROM and found what he considered
to be actual bugs and some non-bug oddities. He then asked the editor
if these bugs were only in his machine and if Commodore would give him
another VIC-20 instead. They answered that the possible bugs was in
all VICs, but I don't know if a later KERNEL (I think it is) corrected
the bugs.

If anyone wants to know more about this subject, I can bring the paper
some other day and translate the letter.

/Anders Carlsson, has never used RS-232 on his VIC-20
