Re: where to find the rom version in a rom dump file
There's a simple (but not very convenient) answer to this question: Nowhere specific.
The ROM version can be retreived from a running machine by executing the command PRINT VER$, but the string that is returned for this command is spread all over the place over different versions. If you only have the ROMs, your best bet is probably binary comparison to downloaded ROM images.

Hi,
What QDOS Rom are you interested in?
There is JS disassembly and Minerva source code on the QL Home Page.
