As I mentioned further back, I got involved in a case where the 24-pin BASIC ROM of a Nascom had failed and I programmed one of those 24-pin Motorola devices for the owner of that machine as a nice drop-in replacement.

I can certainly understand why you want to take that approach.

Hard to believe you just bought that EMP-10 on a whim without even looking up the device support list. You certainly got lucky there, as it was marketed as a 'cut down' EMP-20 with a much more compact 'popular devices only' support list.
