Good idea. Now a better one is to hack it further so that it also works
on European ones. This is prompted by the fact that the old startgem
worked fine on my English and German 1040, whereas this new one fails
on the German one.

Perhaps one could even have a nice piece of code, with tables for the
various ROM sets!
