Did you get the ROM image from GT using soft??
Leonard Oliveira told me that using this process don't give a real image of ROM.
Just because the sequence of the data on the IC (ROM) is different what CPU see.
(S1990's guilt?)

Well, Leonard could explain better than me. :-)

 I'll give you a text-file in which I found where certain blocks are. Hope if
 you find more specific stuff, you add it and send it back to me. Could be

Re: Turbo-R with European keyboard

  Well, if you want a MSX Turbo R with an European keyboard you may do the
  following:
 I was thinking about connecting an external keyboard, although I'm not sure
 yet about how that could be done (use Padials interface? but that uses up a
 cartridge slot; maybe design my own interface? that would be good for an MSX
 with a connecter for an external keyboard, like the Philips NMS machines,
 but the Turbo R would have to be dismantled).
 
 BTW does anybody know a solution for the problem that the 11*8 switches of
 the keyboard matrix would have to be emulated in a PC keyboard interface for
 MSX? It would take 22 IC's of the type CD4016 or CD4066 (they take up too
 much space and too much power). Maybe a MT8812 array will work. I don't know
 yet.

A very weird idea is:
cut all track on the film of the keyboard and remake the connection using copper
wire or anything else.
And put a single IC.

Well, if you want a MSX Turbo R with an European keyboard you may do the
following:
take a dump from original ROM of TR, make some modification on keyboard manager
routine on BIOS and the character table (that start from H1BBF on slot 0,0),
programe a EPROM with this new version of TR BIOS and finally, redraw all keys

via 
direct CALL or via interslot call.

The MegaSCSI's manual, original in Japanese, said that you can acess the
"function calls" using two entry points, #7FCC and #7FCD.
But I didn't understood what is the difference.
Do you know that?


* Sector read and write

Input:  A  = #00 + DOS drive number, or
 #40 + extended partition number
Cy = 0 for read sectors
 1 for write sectors
B  = Number of sectors to be accessed
C  = First sector number, bits 23 to 16
DE = First sector number, bits 15 to 0
HL = Source/destination buffer address for the data
Output: Cy = 1 if error
A  = error code if Cy=1
B  = number of sectors actually accessed

Here, in Input, when B=0, this mean 256 sectors, not 0. Did you known
that?
Well, I think which could be good idea to write it in your Info. :-)
(I read it from the original manual in Japanese)

 Don't you guys have a disassembler?

I have, but I don't want only the instructions with real adress or values
in the source code, I want a source code with oficial "labels", like BIOS's
routines entry points, entry points in HOOKs, etc..
I disassembled the whole BIOS+BASIC from my MSX Turbo R GT using a program
sent to me by a friend, and now I'm changing the real adress, like #,
to an oficial LABEL, like CHKRAM.
It's take time.

Best Regards.
