RESTORE no longer interrupts a test
Pressing RESTORE while DRAMscope was testing could crash it — or, worse, quietly corrupt a byte that then showed up as a memory fault. Earlier bench sheets could only say "do not press RESTORE". From 1.9 it does nothing at all while the test runs: DRAMscope holds the line RESTORE works through from the moment it starts, so a press — by reflex, from a sticky key, or from electrical noise — cannot get through.
Nothing else on the screen has changed except the version number. The fix is checked automatically: the tests pull that line in the emulator mid-test, and a build without the fix is caught.

Both devices boot straight into the cartridge with no menu — and both must be told to, on a machine that still works. Ultimate II+: Copy to Flash. Kung Fu Flash: it boots the last cartridge you selected. Either way the menu is a C64 program and needs working RAM.
