Jean-Pierre sent me his ROM and I did a cursory check with REX#. It seemed to work correctly. So, I think what is happening is that the ROM he has, which is modified for EU, isn't compatible with TS-DOS.
(this relates to my earlier thread complaining about TS-DOS issues. I guess I still have this ROM loaded in my VT). So...not much to do other than change the main ROM, unfortunately! any other ideas?
