Funny typo in Game Master 2 cartridge

Since I started working on making my own Konami Game Master 2 cartridge, I did some testing on my MSX1 and found a funny typo in the ROM...
When I tried to format the SRAM (without actually having the SRAM chip installed), it said "FORAMT FAILED" instead of FORMAT. Smile

So I checked the HEX code and found a few more FORAMT in the code.
(corrected the typo's obviously now when re-flashing the ROM chip)

Did anyone ever notice this before...?

There are 2 versions of these ROM. One with three time this error, and one with two time this error. If these two versions are original, Konami fixed it in only one place in revision 2.

or added it once in the second revision so that it reaches the value 3, as it is the perfect number... XD

Thought the perfect number (and answer to all questions) was number 42 Wink
