Ya know, you might be on to something here, I had not heard of this
particular technique. I have 2 sets of cartidges; one empty and one brand
new. I start up with the new, switch and reset the old ones back, great
idea!

The swapping of chips would be a pain though. Maybe a dual circuit with
both chipsets, switch from one to the other manually.
