Why not make a "binary diff" right from the beginning? With the diff listing at hand it should be quite easy :-) Anyway, another idea: using my "o65" relocatable fileformat you could use undefined labels (like "BSOUT" etc - ok, BSOUT is a bad example :-)) and let them be relocated by the program loader, that then knows the addresses for the different ROMs. (That loaded could be loaded first, to check the ROM (probably the disk drive for speeders as well), and then load and relocate the real program appropriately.
