Not to discourage from the idea but what usage would the high-bits have on the MLDL2k?
On the CL the mark No-Turbo condition, but nothing more (I believe...)

I think that the ability to load such files and strip the speed bits is a benefit. It would mean that a module that defines speed bits for the HP-41CL, need not to be delivered as both MOD1 and MOD2 files. Only producing a MOD2 file in that case would suffice.

As it is now, I produce both MOD1 and MOD2 files, then I extract the .rom files from the MOD2 and zip them (losing module metadata). A more general support and acceptance for a MOD2 format would be helpful IMO.
