Playing with some of the Electron emulation options in MAME, I was looking at the ABR and noticed that the version of the ABR Utilities ROM MAME asks for appears to have a version of the AP2 ROM I haven't seen before in the upper 8K - including the string "PRES AP2 1.23 for Slogger RomBox+"/"(RS423/Printer drivers)" (one string, including a newline), where the "normal" AP2 ROM has "PRES AP2 1.23 (ADC/Printer/RS423)". Unfortunately it seems partially overwritten (at the beginning) by the ABR utilities *ROM filing system image, but a comparison shows that there are large chunks of similarity to the AP2 1.23 ROM available elsewhere.
Although it's probably not particularly useful these days, it would be interesting at least for posterity/preservation if anyone has a copy of this somewhere?
PRES AP2 ROM for Slogger RomBox+
Re: PRES AP2 ROM for Slogger RomBox+
Well spotted, hadn't noticed that before. Will have to search my collections again to see if it's lurking somewhere.
The ABR image would've likely come from @daveejhitchins so maybe he has it somewhere.

Sorry . . . I don't have the version you're after. If I do find it (on a disc, somewhere) I'll let you know.
