"Not I" to the last question, however...

Consider that if the ROM maps into the typical I/O space ($Cx00-$CxFF
where "x" is the card's slot, and $C800-$CFFF) you may be able to copy
the ROM image(s) to RAM via the monitor's M)ove commands and BSAVE
them to disk from there.

Of course, that would still leave the problem of how to set the time
if you ever did have to repair the card...
