If you've spent 7 days so far and got as far as "F3", I wondering if this is actually some kind of elaborate troll. At the rate of one byte per week, you might finish transcribing the 4K ROM within 8 decades.

Oh haha, just seen the reply below mine that has a link to the photos of the printout...

Interestingly, the large F3 appears to be a batch number for the print job, so it's just coincidental that it's the same as the first byte in the ROM. The first byte starts on line 732 and printed in octal not hex, so "000363" (the first byte of the output seems to be some kind of markup for addresses in multi-byte opcodes (immediate loads seem to have 000 for these).
