Hi again
 My understanding is that for the E series, the only difference
between the E and the F is the additional firmware ROMs. My
understanding is that you'd need the ROM expansion board.
 I hope you are going to make some binary files of all these ROMs.
Maybe Al can make a directory to hold ROM images.
