Cool, happy to help with the exploration!
Just getting into the hardware side of things, and I don’t have a NEC to
try out the R2/Clu chip. Thoughts on how I could dump this? Or a gadget
I could order to help me do that?
For any NEC rom (meaning, does NOT need a pinout adapter like all the
100/102/200 roms do) you could get a bare TL-866 from ebay.

The software is free and easy. (or at least, I could tell you what to do
exactly.)
For any of the 100/102/200 roms it gets a little more complicated. You
either need to be able to remove the chip from the pinout adapter, or
get a DIP test clip (28 or more pins) (and some wires and a DIP-28
socket just to hold the free ends of the 28 wires), or use software to
have the M100/200 read it and copy it out to the serial port.
Or I mail it to someone who would know what to do with it? (I have a
small set of operational T102s, two non-functional T200s, and an awesome
T. WP-2, but alas no NECs.
I would do it. But I would also walk you through using the TL-866 if you
want to try getting into that.
Any thoughts on the Gold v7.10 chip? Is that of any interest? I would be
happy to install that into a T102 and see what happens when I call
63012, in the name of science!
