Nice!

Many years ago I started to patch the original Pacman arcade ROMs to run 
on the TRS-80 Model 4. Here are the results (scroll down):

In the process I did some reverse-engineering of the code but didn't get 
very far into it from memory; probably nothing of any use to you 
especially if you've got those other resources you mention on your blog.

I could probably get it playable on a rotated screen without too much 
issue on the Model 4 - much like Space Invaders it should only require 
patching in certain areas as the Model 4 memory map with the hires 
screen effectively gives you the entire 64KB to play with! As it is it 
runs through the attract mode.

Good luck, looking forward to your results!

Regards,
