Bob, I *think* (but don't take it to the bank) that the only thing you 
need to do (for os9 anyway) is check the manual for the init modules 
format, and change a byte thats now set to $3F in the standard init 
module to an $FF.  This byte sets (ISTR) the top page of ram that the os 
maps in while its booting.  Don't forget to verify the module to fix the 
crc after you've located it and edited it with dEd.

There may be other fixes required, but thats the only one that comes to 
mind and I'm 1000 miles NW of my disks right now so I can't check any 
closer than my wet ram.
