It's possible.  SetCPU V1.6 doesn't require cachable Chip memory to effect
its reboot (SetCPU V1.5 did, and also wouldn't deal with 512K ROMs).  But
it does require the RESET instruction to work.  As I understood it way back
when the GVP problems first surfaced, there was a bug in the GVP reset logic.
I though the reset and chip caching issues were resolved in the same PAL
fix, but possibly not.
