re: removing an independent RAM card vs switching it to write-protect
  
Any program that uses machine language or microcode, or whatever, is magic to
me....I have no idea what's going on inside -- just what I see on the screen.
  
So call me wrong or call me chicken, but for all I know, if something 
could trash my independent RAM, it may not care whether the write-
protect switch is set or not.
  
But this does raise a good question:  how many insertions & removals are
the 48 cards and card ports spec'd for?
