Having just done this myself, there are a few caveats.  The BASIC chip is
static sensitive so do not touch it with your hands.  Use a tool to remove 
and insert the IC.  

Also:  BASIC XE by OSS gives 108 when you print peek (43234).
I do not know what BASIC XL gives.  (I also wonder who assigns the numbers
so that they are unique?)
