While answering Vincent´s e-mail I had one idea. Theorically it is easy to
do ... maybe it is a good project sometime ...

Is it possible to convert a ROM file to .BIN? So you could load it through
regular disks.

The BIN file would have two parts: the bootstrap file followed by the "ROM"
data. The bootstrap file would make:

1) Copy ROM to RAM and enable 64KB of memory
2) Copy the rest of the file to C000
3) JMP C000

Would it work? Did someone make this already? And survived to tell the
tale? :-)
