Service ROMs
3rd party ROMs generally also support command abbreviation, leading to ambiguity where two service ROMs provide commands which are very similar in name but possibly different in functionality. In this case the MOS would prioritise the command from the ROM in the higher numbered ROM slot - i.e. 7 would take precedence over 6.
Some 3rd party suppliers would get around this by prefixing their star commands with other letters - for example Watford Electronics ROMS would have their star commands prefixed with "W" therefore making them unique.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
