So have you not started on the disassembly of the DB code proper yet?  I
can share the progress I made yesterday, which basically covers all the
graphics routines so far, from which I derived the jump table I posted.
I actually referred to
http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/firmware/computers/pet/d/petdis
the most for understanding the PET ROM calls, so I only focused on
fleshing out the DB code itself.

http://www.white-flame.com/cbm8000-wfdis.zip

There's a text file copy/pasted from the disassembler display, as well
as the .wfdis file to continue working on it (or just to view a
hyperlinked version) with http://www.white-flame.com/wfdis/

I was able to bang out that disassembly quite quickly yesterday, but I
certainly welcome more users to WFDis to keep fleshing it out, as it's
definitely got a lot of "quality of life" issues remaining.  Not sure
I'm going to continue working on this particular ROM at the moment,
though, since the gist of the graphics routines are pretty established now.
