This article decribes, how to map the rewriteable ROMs of the SYMBiFACE II card into the ram area so that you can change its content.

The re-writeable ROMs are stored on a static RAM. The static RAM is powered by a CR2032 battery to remember it's contents when the symbiface 2 is powered down.

Mechanisms

Please note, that the following commands ignore all values. So it doesn't matter, what you "out". When you "inp" you won't get any meaningful numbers.

INP &FD17 show the current ROM (selected by #df00) between #4000 and #7fff. Now it can be read and rewritten.
OUT &FD17 disable the previouse mentioned ROM write mode.
OUT &FD11 disable all SYMBiFACE II Roms. You won't see any additional ROMS anymore, only the CPCs' inbuilt ones.
INP &FD11 enable the SYMBiFACE II roms.
