where X is the slot you have your card in...

it might have rom in the C800 to CFFF space...

You'll have to do a bit of research on how to get
this code to be mapped in...  after you hit the
right soft switches:

]bsave MoreROM,a$c800,l$7FF

As David pointed out, for compatibility, the "reset" bank of
ROM in $Csxx space will have to bank switch the standard 13-
sector or 16-sector boot ROM into the $Csxx space, so getting
access to all of the ROM without removing it from the card may
be a little tricky.

Disassembling the "reset" ROM image should reveal both the
mysterious messages and the bank switching protocol.
