yes, to change the *effective* segment in BASIC/A is
something like def seg = &hxxxx, where xxxx represents
the start of the 64k segment. You'd still need to
create a file, and right off the top of my head Debug
offers as much utility for this as anything.
Funky little problem is you can only save a file of
65535 bytes with debug, unless someone can tell me how
you can save an entire 64k chunk of data...

Can't you also use BASIC to do it? I think it has
a
"segment" variable or
prefix that can be used in a loop to read the ROM .

it
wouldn't hurt to ask...
