This article decribes, how to map the rewriteable ROMs of the SYMBiFACE II card into the ram area so that you can change its content.
The re-writeable ROMs are stored on a static RAM. The static RAM is powered by a CR2032 battery to remember it's contents when the symbiface 2 is powered down.

INP &FD17 | show the current ROM (selected by #df00) between #4000 and #7fff. Now it can be read and rewritten. |
