You're describing this like there's a port on the external case of the
terminal for this, but I am not seeing that in the diagrams.  It shows
on the engineering drawings as a connector on the rear side of the
CPU module.

Am I missing something?

While we're talking about additional ROMs that need to be dumped,
there appears to be a ROM on the graphics board as well.
