Surely no problem. I am sure _all_ Qx0 users use a hard disk.
It is no problem to have a small, old SMSQ in ROM, and simply LRESPR the
current disk version. It is such a pain re-programming eproms and
needing a specialist piece of hardware, surely the majority of Qx0 users
do this anyway? Also I believe a RAM based O/S runs faster.
