Do you include bankswitching schemes in the kernals?
Because that's another area where a company's
"fingerprints" might be found. I was looking over
that list that tells the bankswitching schemes for
every conceivable 2600 cartridge on the planet (I used
to think my collection was impressive. Now I know it
just sucks). I don't have the doc in easy reach at
the moment, but I recall M Network used a bankswitch
scheme peculiar to them, and I think Parker Brothers
also used one especially for them and the chip set
they had in the carts.
