Hi there Eckhard & Chris!

Thanks a lot for your insights!

I think that's what I'll do, no more experiments! :-)

I'm heading for the safe side on the random generator, 
too. Seems like it doesn't work when rnd is zero for any 
reason, so I'm doing this now:

Random
    LDA rnd
    BNE .skipInit
    LDA #$FF
.skipInit:
    ASL
    ASL
    ASL
    EOR rnd
    ASL
    ROL rnd
    RTS

So it's self-initializing in case :-)

(BTW: Eckhard, I didn't forget about the Bank Heist 
cartridge, I just didn't find any time for soldering 
yet.)

Greetings,
	Manuel
