With or without the DRI patches :)

The official sources (and consequently the binaries produced) won't include the official
DRI SID-entered patches.  There have been attempts by third parties to include the patches
in the source but I don't know if it results in a byte-identical image with officially patched
binaries.

What would be useful is a permanent fix for the DRI CP/M 3 random-read bug - which
DRI was informed about but never addressed (?).  An RSX that works around the bug
can be found in CPM3BUG.LBR
http://archives.scovetta.com/pub/walnut-creek/BEEHIVE/TESERACT/TESS-047.ZIP
Text explaining when/why the bug occurs is included with ZPM3 - but sadly no detail
as to how they fixed it.

A simple executable which tests whether you have the random-read bug is here:
