No magic, there are probably small signal inverters in the socket below the EPROMs. The basic schematic for using EPROMs is documented many times in this forum.
Enterto get the lightning binary.
Enter
Code: Select all

Probably _lngINIT command to activate it. As Marcel says, discussed often before e.g. viewtopic.php?t=224
Link to a manual in that thread too.

Makes me wonder, why it appears twice on the screen, I often have seen this by others.

Re: digital precision lightning rom 2.10 upgrade an installation
Old TK2 ROMs had special code that detected if it was invoked from $CC000 and in that case checks if it was already initialised from $C000. So probably some incomplete address decoding going on.

The ICE rom does the same thing, showing up twice.

Re: digital precision lightning rom 2.10 upgrade an installation
Hi,
I bought LightningSE on ROM when in the 1990s, it was a good addon, but used up the ROM port.
Minerva rom graphics improvement give 98% of speed of LightningSE, according to the Minerva Manual,but I never compared this in a test and I can not remember anyone doing a speed comparison.
There is a nice attach font option to specified channel command, a little redundant,since TK2 and SMSQ/E does it better.
