I think it might be good to note here that Povl's INIT was going to copy
the IIsi ROM _FROM THE CHIPS_ into RAM.  That'd mean you had to have a
IIsi ROM to start with.

If the intent is to distribute this 512K+ ROM INIT, then yes, methinks
Apple legal would have a bit of a cow.  See the recent events in
comp.sys.mac.misc re:SE/30 ROM updates mailing list for a better way to
convince Apple that this is what we want :-)
