The point here is:Does this external mapper support read-back? As far as I understand 
many
of the extensions
don't support reading of their mappers (for example AddRam, if the circuit diagram of 
it
that I found on the Net is correct)

Probably you are right here. (however 100 ohms seems a slightly bigger value than 
usual 22
or 33 ohms)
