You can save a lot of time by just reading the ROM into a Mac file yourself.  
I mean, that's why it's connected to the processor, to be read, right?  Also, 
anyone willing to go to this much trouble will be willing to find the ROM 
resource map and re-do it to point to the new font, no matter how big it is.  
:-)

But seriously, for the imminent day when the 128K ROM upgrade is discontinued, 
does anyone already know the best (i.e., most convenient) PROM to use in a Mac 
512?  Not that I'm advocating copying Apple ROMs, because of course that would 
be illegal...
