Thx Curtis,  This confirms that I don’t have to continue disassembling OS9P2, as your copy matches Alans OS9P2 perfectly (CRC & Size) from L3.  His documents stated that he did modify OS9P2, but obviously that change was merged into L2 along the way. And this will make it way easier to merge L3 to current v3.3.0.
