Weird. Does the ROM code have an exception handler for illegal =20
instructions which does something useful, or is it wrongly executing =20
MOVEC in the first place? I'm going to guess the latter, and =20
speculate that a branch is misfiring. Is it possible that the =20
emulation incorrectly sets CCR bits, sending us down a 68020 path?
If you can get to the blinking '?', you can hold down Command-Option-=20
X-O at boot to startup from the ROM system disk. :-)
