couple quick comments.. first off, not every rs232 pak has a socketed
ROM.. I have one here that has the rom soldered to the board, although
the uart is socketed.

second, while putting some alternate terminal software into the rom is
probably silly, you might want to put a ROM in that has nothing to do
with the rs232 pak itself.. for instance a DriveWire rom or OS9, some
other DOS etc.
