Great job - I might do this to my A model - first I have to get the rest 
of it working though.   The only improvement I would suggest is 
installing a socket into the board socket and soldering to it rather 
than soldering onto the ic.   One can also still remove the ic later
Have you diff'ed the two rom images to see how much code changed?
