I mean 0xC180 of course :)

Yes. Please do that. ;-)


I put the files up on my site, then checked them. Big mistake. The
softswitch works fine in the monitor. I could change banks and list the
contents. However changing them with a POKE and then saving did absolutely
nothing. All the four ROM files are the same. Any ideas?

Use the monitor to move the banks to some contiguous region of memory,
then write them all out at once.  (Something must be resetting the bank
register prior to the disk write.)

It also appears as if pages 4-7 are accessible, just all unwritten. Ie FF.

So the designer *did* implement a 3-bit bank switch!  That opens
up some interesting possibilities for alternate EPROMs...
