I have dumps of all the programmed chips in my Z90...

AFAIK, the 3 chips involved are the monitor ROM (Z80 code), the memory
mapping PROM and the I/O mapping PROM.

I believe that's the mod I mentioned which connects an output port line
to the input on the memory mapping PROM, thus allowing software selection
of HDOS (ROM at location 0) or CP/M (RAM at location 0) memory maps.
