Er, yes, that was a typo, induced by trying to type 15 minutes of email in
a 5-minute slot :-)
In fact, part of the reason the Torch board causes Beebs to misbehave if
Torch's own code doesn't grab it and hide it, is that the 6522 is seen by
Acorn's Tube code (in the DNFS ROM) and Acorn's code will try to initialise
it (and gets it wrong, of course).
