And not only those; there were similar listings of ROM firmware of
the earlier Communications Card and Parallell Card as well, and I
believe the ROM+ Card also listed its firmware.  However, since the
firmware of the peripheral cards were only 256 bytes, it was pretty
easy to disassemble and figure out yourself what that code was doing.
