Just for the records: This program does the following: It reads the ROM
from $E000-$FFFF.

So, the higher ROM will be in $6000-$7FFF. If one wants to get the full
ROM dump, one should change line 40 to

40 FOR HI=192 TO 255

Thus, in the original version of the program, to save the ROM, change
the line
 
> POKE 43,0:POKE 44,96:POKE 45,0:POKE 46,160:SAVE "ROM-03",8

to read as follows:

 POKE 43,0:POKE 44,96:POKE 45,0:POKE 46,128:SAVE "ROM-03",8

If you modified line 40 as given above, you have to use the original
version of the line.


Nevertheless, I was able to extract your ROM out of the file you send
me. It is exactly an original -03 ROM as found on FUNET - erm,
zimmers.net. ;)

Regards,
   Spiro.
