Don't forget that SAM was (technically) lauched as a Tape machine. But if they put a a compressed basic (and maybe a dos) into the ROM and it was just there to unpack it to RAM and execute it then things could have been a lot easier for MGT then they didn't need to send out all those rom packets and maybe didn't need to call in the recievers. > I think that booting from a virtual disk would be very good.
