[A83] Re: Mario for ashell
ionFastCopy is STILL too fast on the later TI83's even the latest version.
Anyway, would it be possible to slow down the fastcopy routine by
disassembling it and replacing one pair of canceling instructions with a
slower pair? (ie replace 'inc hl \ dec hl' with 'push hl \ pop hl'?)
