I've been told they do tone dialling too, based on the unsupported DIP
switches in the telephony module. Haven't tried it though; all of my OPDs
are downstairs in boxes.

There's too much track damage unfortunately; whoever was removing the RAMs
really didn't care about the donor machine. Of course, anything's possible
with some sockets and wire-wrap, but TBH I only bought that machine for the
extras that came with it like spare microdrives and extended ROM pods with a
different version of Xchange.
