Yeah, that was already captured in the C100-FFFF dump.
(Probably why Geoff only asked for the slot 2 ROM.)
The slot 2 ROM is byte identical to the SSC ROM. (The garbage at CE00 is where the SSC has the code which maps to C200.)
What about the software? Is that easy to get from the carts?
Or does it need "speakering" out?
Cheers,
Nick.

Well, that's where my story started all those years ago. I was
interested in ADTPro'ing the cartridge contents out into the real world.
They're ProDOS entities in slot 6, drives 1 and 2 - so it would be
awesome to dump them one by one. But comms software into the machine is
proving difficult - and bi-directional I/O is the heart of the matter.
I know I could write a utility to blast a length followed by a set of
blocks via audio out, but that would be a depressingly long program to
type on that keyboard. We haven't talked about that keyboard yet... it
is a hellscape of horrific proportions. If this machine ever made it
out into the mainstream, the keyboard would be its undoing. It simply
can't handle keypresses more frequent than the laziest hunt-and-peck
typist. It's maddening. I literally stick out one finger and use it to
type to keep from dropping characters. And I end up dropping them
anyway for two consecutive 00's. Don't be jealous you don't have one of
these, y'all. They suck.
