Ugh, that's an obnoxious scan. But no, bits 7-3 are well defined. One
of the bits 2,1,0 should be an "open file" flag but I haven't found
anything saying which one is which.

Since I started this project? The ability to backup and restore RAM
images.  I've cold-started my M100 more times in the last 2 months than
I have in the previous 20 years! Not having to install TEENY from
scratch every 10 minutes... ;-)

Even previously, the multiple RAM images is the feature I use most.
Mostly the ROM image is left at TS-DOS, though I do fire up multiplan
or lucid once in a while... I'm just not doing a lot of
word-processing, outlining, or database stuff these days, and frankly
ROM2 kind of scares me. ;-)
