I've never seen an SE badged as 2/40, however I did own an 1/20 and still have an 1/40.

Apparently 7.5 is kinda buggy on these machines, I just saw your other thread about the missing gray scales on the menu bars and such.

Nice!

Congrats! Apparently corrupt ROMs aren't that uncommon on these machines.
