Hello again, and thanks for your response!
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.
This sounds awesome… I ordered one and it should arrive by
Monday, and I look forward to learning how to use this
tool and find out how to grab the image!
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.
This also sounds awesome — especially by using software to
have the T102 read it and copy it out to the serial port.
What software in particular should I use?
That would be,

And the serial cable:

And a serial terminal app on a modern pc. For Windows I'd say
probably TeraTerm
https://osdn.net/projects/ttssh2/releases/
On linux I use minicom. I'd probably use minicom on mac too
though I don't know if there's something more convenient on mac.
I apologize, this could use a bit more help and direction than
"use this comm program" but that'll have to be later.
I think there might be an app that writes directly to a file
via TPDD too, instead of using a terminal program to capture
plain text. I might be inventing that, I'll have to look
around. That wouldn't be necessarily fewer or easier steps
just different. But it would mean setting up a tpdd emulator
and installing a tpdd client on the t102, which is just a
handy thing you're going to want in general anyway.

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?

The software is free and easy. (or at least, I could tell
you what to do exactly.)

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!
