Firmware listings were published in the IIe and IIc technical reference
manuals, including the enhanced IIe and the "UniDisk" revision of the
IIc (1985).  As I said in another followup, they appear to have been the
last ones.  (If the "memory expansion" IIc firmware listing was
published, it must have been in a supplementary manual, like the one
which was published for the original IIe firmware.)

Apple never published a listing of any of the other items you listed,
except for extracts, or useful parts such as sample GS/OS device
drivers.
