The reason I didn't use any ROM calls on the 86 was - of course - because
it's a port from the 85. There was no need to change the link routines
at all - I didn't even consider it. However, I was aware of that
on the 85 there were link routines. They couldn't be used though, because
an error in the transmission would cause a general TI error and exit
the whole program.
Does the linkroutines in the 86 ROM work different? Can you hook them
somehow?
