On an M9312 card? I worry about what's going to happen to
the rest of the 
machine... I also wonder if it's correct to call the device
a 'ROM' if 
it's used in that manner 

Anyway, I cna't beleive there's much use for a boot ROM that
boots the 
device once, and then has to be replaced (remember these are
fusible-link 
ROMs, they can't be erased).
