Well, don't keep us in suspense, man, open it up and see if the chip has a
window!


Also, I wonder what the little beetle-looking thing inside the Dungeons
of Daggorath cartridge is?  I remember opening it up (to install it in
an old Coco 2, as the boot-up ROM!), only to find that 'Chip' was a little
epoxy blob about the size of a pencil eraser. I'm sure it was a ROM,
but what the heck kind of package was that?  Anyone know?
