It is a software development tool. ROM2 in particular is a tool for assembly development. I've only ever seen it combined with Cleuseau, which is a tool for BASIC development but this might be a stand-alone version. Club100 has an addenda to the manual for it, though it seems the manual itself is not there. I do have a copy somewhere, though. > Also, how do I create a dump of the ROM that would be useable? There are some BASIC utilities that can write out the ROM to a serial device. If I were taking a shot at dumping the ROM I would rummage up one of those utilities, hook up to my serial cable, then just capture the input from /dev/ttyUSB0 to a file using cat. The hard part would be tracking down the existing utilities so I wouldn't have to look up ROM addresses and write a PEEK/PRINT# loop.
