No, exactly this is a totally wrong assumption!
In fact I had a corrupted patch on a MP2100 and could not get rid of it.
The only way I dicovered was to exchange ROM boards.
Now we know that there is also a special software for that.
The particular memory area the patches reside IS NOT TOUCHED during a hard
reset or brain wipe!

Cheers
Johannes
