It went from a CIA (as is to be expected) to GARY. This makes me wonder. The 2000 doesn't need a boot rom, does it? The start of the kickstart ROM has the same structure as the boot rom in the 1000. (I know; I disassembled it). Does the OVL line maybe map a PART of the kickstart rom to location zero? Or is there a boot rom anyway?
