	With sufficient documentation of the interface,
it may indeed be unnecessary, but:

1) If we ever get native bootloading going, the MacOS will
   never have run, which means those 6502 will be empty

2) What happens if something somehow resets the 6502?
   I would imagine that the loaded program goes away.


   In either situation, if we just grab the appropriate code from a
MacOS distribution, there are I.P. issues. If there is a version of
the code in the ROMs, then we may have a workaround, but, um, yuk.
