Dear Harv, It doesn't matter what the name of the ROM trigger file is, and there is no use having more than one ROM trigger on the menu. No matter what the name is, it just jumps to 63012 and from there into the option ROM. That's why SUPER will activate any option ROM. The WRITE ROM is deactivated by typing in CALL63012,0,1. That takes WRITE (the trigger) off the menu. I'm surprised there isn't something like that documented for SUPER ROM. Your idea of making N2X.BA kill any ROM trigger files before calling N2X.CO is a good one. I'd even consider incorporating that right into the N2X.CO program, which wouldn't be hard at all to do. But I'm concerned that just taking the trigger off the menu might lull us into thinking that the ROM is deinstalled. Just taking it off the menu would not restore the hook table of any of the other stuff that might need to be done. The official way to deinstall the WRITE ROM, for example, is the CALL63012,0,1. That may do a lot more than just removing the trigger name WRITE from the menu. I'm just not sure. It certainly wouldn't hurt to try. One could always go back to the "official" call if things locked up. -- Tracy
