Here are my notes related to Tandy published roms and cold restarts.

Aug. 5, 2009:
* for Multiplan and IntSol,  a patch was applied to replace  "AB" with 00
00 hex at offset 0040, to avoid cold restarts when OS detects rom removal.
* I think they are officially working fine.

So, what I did, is I modified the roms so that they would stop cold
restarting.
This was a "feature" of M100 power-on, was detection of inserted option
roms and detection of removal.

The roms are located here:
