Commodore 8296 ROM images

I have compared the the two 8 K (324878-01 and 324878-02) 8296 ROM's on
funet with the 16 K (324746-01) ROM.  There were very few matches (less
than 1000 out of 16 K).  On examining the contents of the two 8 K ROM's, I
could not see any of the text that should be there.  Also, the fill bytes
at the end of the ROM's are $BA instead of the usual $AA.  

I therefore altered the file to set bit 4 low wherever it was high.  This
makes the fill byte $AA as it should be.  It also makes the text messages
readable, although still partially garbled.  I got about 2000 matches
between the two versions this way.

The rest of the two 8 K ROM's appear to be randomly garbled.
