Well, I have had no one report that they found custom Easter egg.
First batch of MC PCBs has been completed and shipped.
This day being Easter, I felt it appropriate to release info.
So, here is Easter egg details:
- Start MC
- select Utilities from menu
- select Vicmon 60-6F
- choose 3K mode
- at prompt type G 6EB6 and hit return
- press shift 6 (apersand)
- press space bar to exit
Have fun!!!

It was intended to be difficult to find (or guess) as an easter egg.

That far I got, but I got crazy trying to find a way to get to it without doing the "G" command. Turns out this is how it was supposed to be.
Anyway I cheated a little as I had access to several ROM dumps and could cross correlate them to find the encoded serial.

Then I suppose that it will be a new Easter Egg for the next updated Mega-Cart revision... right Brian ?

How the hell was I ever going to find that?!

I agree with Pedro.
Without cheating like I did it would have been very hard to find, especially since there was no UI way of getting there.
I really like the idea of the units being personalized, nicely executed!
