Add an Integrity Check to the ROM downloader. When it first reads the manufacturer and hardware type bits, if they're unknown values it'll stop and display a dialog with an error message and the option to stop or continue. This is to deal with a hypothetical situation where a Newton has a bug in it's Serial Debugger that treats read memory as erase memory, and has EEPROM. This check would limit the damage to at most the two words, instead of erasing the entire EEPROM.
