Except as I recall the ROM is soldered in an ExpertPad. There are
also some subtle hardware differences in a 120 and an ExpertPad as
the latter is based on the OMP architecture.

However, if you have the ExpertPad to spare, by all means prove me
wrong. I'm a sucker for a good hack, and the ExpertPad is still one
of my favorite Newtons. I almost wish I still had mine... But that's
another tale.
