| That being said, MAME before [[https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/bdcb98307822e79c242782ee67bef966bf4c25de|bdcb983]] did not float the bus for $C0C0-$C0CF. A non-floating bus results in ROM $03 hanging when the card is first accessed, and, due to changes made by Apple, a hang at boot for ROM $04 (and presumably IIc Plus ROM $05). | That being said, MAME before [[https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/bdcb98307822e79c242782ee67bef966bf4c25de|bdcb983]] did not float the bus for $C0C0-$C0CF.

| The code could be fixed by using the stack to save the counter and comes out a few bytes shorter: | The code could be fixed by using the stack to save the counter and comes out a few bytes shorter: | ||

| If it was undesirable to use the stack, we overwrite sizetemp anyway when the routine exits, so we could replace the pha/pla with sta sizetemp/lda sizetemp at the cost of 4 bytes. | If it was undesirable to use the stack, we overwrite sizetemp anyway when the routine exits, so we could replace the pha/pla with sta sizetemp/lda sizetemp at the cost of 4 bytes. | ||
