There is a diff, but I don't after 31 years, recall the exact details, 
but it caused Jake Commander's chromakey (as published) to be very slow 
on the coco2's. Easily patched. It was the address of the keyboard 
polling routine contained in the first $10 bytes of the basic rom at 
$a000. I patched my copy of Jakes code, but I don't know now, if that 
patch ever made it into the wild, and my copies of old net messages to 
delphi were lost decades ago.. A quick dump of the first 10 bytes of the 
basic rom should show the diff between an un-modified 1, and an 
un-modified 2. I think it was with the advent of the addition of the dos 
command to basic.
