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

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 ([ATBIOS-REV1.rom](http://archive.pcjs.org/devices/pcx86/rom/5170/ATBIOS-REV1.rom))
It is also possible to create a merged binary ROM image ([ATBIOS-REV1.rom](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/archive.pcjs.org/devices/pcx86/rom/5170/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/pcx86/rom/5170/ATBIOS-REV1.rom

Older (REV B) system boards apparently *did* require 2 ROMs, at locations U40 and U47. REV C and later system boards
required only 1 (REV C or later) ROM at location U40.
