Cart image found at :

I burned it to an 27c64 - 8k EPROM using a Promenade C1 burner. The
Eprom works perfect.

Thanks for the link!

I've tried it in VICE by removing the extra 00 80 at the front and attaching
it as a Generic 8KB cartridge image.

It comes up in HESMON just fine. But if I try to execute a PROMOS command
(i.e. G), it either dumps me back into HESMON or gives ?SYNTAX ERROR.

I would have expected at least G (Glossary/Command Summary) to work without
a C1 attached.

Any suggestions? Does it work OK on the real hardware?

Hey Leif,
It works perfect on actual hardware. I have made carts from it and all
work perfect. I'll have to try under vice sometime.
