In my case I'm not concerned if anyone wants my mods at all. Hell, I don't
even know if I can do it! But the idea is to push myself beyond my basic
understanding of TTL.

Wait - is yours a replacement board or is it a mod to a regular 'roids
board?

Spoken like a true hardware guy - someone who makes hardware mods to work
around software problems. ;-) Yeah, I've noticed everything is shifted,
too. I'll fix it so it's shifted properly. Should just be a simple matter
of positioning the beam when various things are drawn.

FWIW, If you want to take the sources (disassemblies, actually) and use
them in your for-profit venture, fine by me.
