i am planning to do my own rr-rom - totally from scratch
That's cool and the idea sounded nice. Too bad you deleted your hard drive. Is there anyone doing anything towards what is discussed in this thread?

So you were just making the ROM for yourself?

save the whole REU-Content via a rs232 line to a null-modem-connected PC
Well, of course this should be doable also using the RR-Net.

Who is dW and what is this clone?

I'm totally for a 100% modular framework. ROM "CORE" which supports plugins and program flashing. Native commands could be %FLS for showing a list of currently flashed programs.
Limited modularity is provided by the FlashROM being divided into 16K sectors that can be erased and programmed independently. The upcoming version of my utility ROM will allow the user to flash a single program of his/her choice into the upper 32K half of the ROM bank occupied by it. Normally that space is unused because the ROM is 32 kilobytes.
However, in practice a ROM that allows the user to freely plug components in and out, would have to re-create (a major part of) itself every time changes are made and then reflash pretty much everything. As for the new commands, I definitely want to see a proper BASIC extension like TFR does and not any start-with-special-character getchar-hack.
