Thanks!
One more "Q". if you don't mind.
What does the downgrade (to the earlier Verizon ROM) do?

I don't doubt that it works, but as a programmer, I would expect that any ROM (custom or stock), would completely over-write the previous ROM. I would REALLY like to understand how loading a "to-be-immediately-overwritten-ROM" works some kind of mojo?

The only analogy that I can come up with, would be that the Verizon ROM does something to the 6800, in the same way that a special PC program could alter the PC's BIOS.

I hunger for knowledge!
