I have seen references to the ROM sockets, but I haven't seen anything on how
to use them or how they interact with exteral ROMS.  I sounds like I might
be able to to use them to add features (if I knew how they are used).

I wrote an article with an example on this very topic.  It should appear
in the next Twin Cities 128 (#28 I believe).  ROMs (internal or external) on
the C-128 are much more versatile and elegant than on the C-64...
