The readme says the upgrade returns the Clone to "proper" operation. By proper do you mean the way the original Altair did it or do you mean what the operation should be like logically? The two are not always the same!

The Readme file covers in detail (five paragraphs under “Background”) how and why a real Altair with a Turnkey board exhibits the behavior it does in this corner case of operation. You tell me whether the “proper operation” summarized in the first paragraph duplicates the real hardware or not :)
