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.
It is also possible to create a merged binary ROM image ([1984-01-10.rom](http://static.pcjs.org/devices/pc/bios/5170/1984-01-10.rom))
It is also possible to create a merged binary ROM image ([1984-01-10.rom](http://archive.pcjs.org/devices/pc/bios/5170/1984-01-10.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://static.pcjs.org/devices/pc/bios/5170/1984-01-10.rom

The oldest Compaq DeskPro 386 ROM I have is a Rev J.4 ROM from a "Version 2" motherboard designed
in 1987 and released in 1988.

On my first dump attempt, every ROM address returned 0xFF. After looking at the 27128A datasheet more closely, I noticed
the DEVICE OPERATION table indicated that, for a READ operation, /CE and /OE pins should be connected to INPUT LOW VOLTAGE,
