Often "we" can produce a working dumper program by starting with a complete
memory dump - with the cartridge inserted and "active", save the entire
memory.

poke43,0:poke44,0:poke45,255:poke46,255:poke55,255:poke56,255:save"mem",8,1

Please do this and make the dump available (or just mail it over). We will
likely see some bits of code in the I/O area, which hopefully contain some
clues on how to map the ROM into memory so we can save it. In the simpliest
case it will work by adding another POKE to the above line :)

Don't pay any attention to the critics. Don't even ignore them.
