Yeah, I thought you might.  I sure would be...

The same fellow, is it?  Sounds like an unemployed ex-KGB member.  :)

Dunno, it was only a matter of time before somebody made available the
actual ROM address which needs to be changed to _permanently_ activate x2

although it will only actually work with those SDLs which are x2-capable).
