Errm...don't the ROMs contain the CPU instructions...the video output is 
shurely the job of other board chips (ZX8301, etc).

However, (these are speculation/vague memories [of rumours?]) the screen 
shape is different(?) and so the drawing routines would be modified (so a 
CIRCLE is still a circle).  Also, would the interrupt routine be running at 
60Hz as opposed to 50Hz, and so some timing routines would have been rewritten?
