Well, there would be a way, reading the MANC register and seeing if the suspect bit is present, but am not sure if there is some important point at which the thing gets misprogrammed, its just best to use the patcher, its harmless if its not needed. Sorry, I realize its a hassle to boot to that wonder DOS :) Jack
