Sorry -- I should have been more specific but by now John W has clarified
the situation.  Yes, it was an internal video thing -- got as far as
some messages about that and then it would hang, not getting anywhere 
near the Copyright.  ADBTEST160 must be, as John said, the only one
with the right intvid code.  Sorry for not providing everything I "knew"
(after all, I only sorta know it and JW _really_ knows it :-) first
time around.

And again (as JW also mentions, albeit with a different emphasis), for
Classic II users, ADBTEST160 will run netbsd on your little 9" monitor!
It runs on mine all day every day.  :-)
