First of all, most of you need to start paying more attention -- this is AMS
2.01, not 2.00 (it's just annoying me =)

Olle, you're on the right track -- the .89u file is a .tib with copyright
info that you can delete.

In order to get it to boot on VTI, you need a special .sav file - I got it
from Fred (along with AMS 2.01, before any of you =), who said something
about the exception tables not being in something.  All I know is that it
runs, but on/off/reset doesn't work.

This runs on both HW versions - VTI 2.5 beta 5 does both =)
