But where is the microcode for the brain-damaged Nova

stored, and can it be overwritten?
PROMs, and no, I know of no way to overwrite _that_ code. Instead you
execute a load microstore operation, which moves data from memory to
microstore and resets the machine such that it begins execution from
soft microstore rather than the proms.
I'll have a look-see in the POP for the details.
