> Subtle but distinct difference here. EV67 introduced additional instructions that as I stated and Volker also stated are not the issue here. But... it is important to note that if AXPbox is a true EV6 implementation, there is the possibility that an EV67 code base COULD fail because of a missing instruction encoding. Again, not likely in code that would allow the system to boot properly in any case.

Thanks, everyone. I'm not going to pursue this any further, it's clearly an emulation issue.
