The message in the 300543-001 ROM identifies it as Cbm DOS 3.0.
300543-001 appears to be $E000-$FFFF.
300542-001 appears to be $C000-$DFFF.
They are similar to DOS 2.5 and 2.7.

300541-001 is different than the GCR ROM in the other CBM drives.  It also
does not appear to contain 6502 machine language.

Somewhere in the ROMs should be a table giving the format (tracks and
sectors) of the disk.
