The JSON-encoded ROM image that PCjs uses was created using the *FileDump* command-line *merge* option:

Since a MAP file ([1984-01-10.map](1984-01-10.map)) exists as well, it is automatically appended to the JSON file
([1984-01-10.json](1984-01-10.json)) when using a ROM input file (or JSON output file) with a matching filename.
Since a MAP file ([ATBIOS-REV1.map](1984-01-10/ATBIOS-REV1.map)) exists as well, it is automatically appended to the JSON file
([ATBIOS-REV1.json](1984-01-10/ATBIOS-REV1.json)) when using a ROM input file (or JSON output file) with a matching filename.
It is also possible to create a merged binary ROM image ([1984-01-10.rom](http://archive.pcjs.org/devices/pc/rom/5170/bios/1984-01-10.rom))
It is also possible to create a merged binary ROM image ([ATBIOS-REV1.rom](http://archive.pcjs.org/devices/pc/rom/5170/bios/ATBIOS-REV1.rom))
by adding *--format=rom* to the command-line (the default is *--format=json*).
These operations can only be performed using the *FileDump* command-line interface; the *FileDump* API does not support
either the *merge* option or the appending of MAP data. For the moment, the API can only dump unadorned ROM images; eg:
http://localhost:8088/api/v1/dump/?file=http://archive.pcjs.org/devices/pc/rom/5170/bios/1984-01-10.rom
