Copyright indicates ownership not necessarily authorship. Bill G certainly
worked on the code. Maybe he wrote most of it. Especially the BASIC
interpreter. But it seems there were others involved in the Model T ROM.
How else would Suzuki and Hayashi get their name into the original ROM? And
the good software reference manuals were clearly written by Japanese
programmers.
